The birds or the breeze, /
the rain or maybe the sun, /
picked berries too soon.

Ripening
Each green blueberry /
a process of ripening /
timelessness into taste.

He bickers and whines. /

Haiku to you Thursday: “What’s sup?”
What’s sup
Young blueberries plump, /
on you will I one day sup /
or will birds fill up?
