Sunshine Meadow – Haiku
The simplistic feeling of total immersion into the bounty of nature can have a profound impact on our lives. The moments we usually remember when we’re old are often the ones that are entrenched in innocence and unadulterated happiness. A walk through a meadow bathed in the warmth and comfort of sunshine, the smells of grasses and flowers, and a warm breeze blowing through your hair will do more for your state of mental health than anything that comes from a prescription bottle.
Green meadow grasses
Waving with the gusting wind
Flowing aimlessly
Frolicking puppy
Chasing flying butterflies
Blissfully focused
Eternal delight
Sunshine cleansing everything
Warmth and happiness
Stay awhile, won’t you
Immerse yourself deep in bliss
Then just remain there

These are beautiful haiku, Ralph. Your introductory commentary is also spot on. The innocent wonder of childhood is what remains with us.
Lovely, beautiful haiku work, Ralph. I really like your intro also. ” will do more for your state of mental health than anything that comes from a prescription bottle.” – I really need to take this into account to get over the health issues I have had lately. I am going out to walk in nature, thank you for that. Well done, Ralph, well done indeed.
Lovely imagery Ralph, and I agree, nature is the great healer of all ills, and connecting regularly a profound gift of energy and peace of mind. great work.
Wonderful haiku with great imagery. Enjoyed.
Stay awhile…don’t mind if I do. Great imagery. Loved the Frolicking puppies. Great Haiku.
