I’ve come up with a 15-word and 17-syllable Haiku called Silent Sunday, with two photographs I took recently in Fontibre, Cantabria, Spain.
Silent Sunday
Don’t speak now keep still,
Listen to wind shaking trees,
Watch drops slip down leaves.

Trees and leaves, like flowers are always quiet, peaceful and so pretty. It’s impossible to feel upset or angry while looking at them, their light shines straight into our hearts.
We all need a few minutes of silence, to recap, listen to ourselves carefully and recharge our batteries for the coming week.
So, this weekend, look for trees, leaves or flowers, they’ll make you smile and help you regroup!
Send me a picture of a tree, leaf or flower on twitter and I’ll write you a poem:)

How serene are your photographs and your words. You’ve captured serenity beautifully.
