Enchanting rows
Soft green, idyllic, wholesome
and kind to the eyes
The morning dew stuck
like pearls of sparkling crystals
swaying in the breeze
Billed most nutritious
supplement, cover against
nature’s impending ills
Written for Chev's haiku at CARPE DIEM #148 with prompt Aomugi (green barley). Shared with Kerry's hosting at Open Link Monday at Real Toads

enchanting and healing all in one :)
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is that, no matter how nutritious the barley, it won't keep us alive forever! :(
ReplyDeleteBarley One and Barley Two
nice...i particularly like that middle stanza hank...it has beautiful imagery...love the dew on the grass and how it shimmers in the morning sun....ah if only we could cover all those ills you know...
ReplyDeleteThis was a breath of fresh air, a romp in the garden. Too bad there is no natural substance that can truly ensure our growing old gracefully... hell, even growing old at all! But it's a good thought, and above all, a bright spirit is the key. Loved this, Hank, and thanks... Amy

The morning dew stuck
ReplyDeletelike pearls --- absolutely stunning
I could smell the fresh breeze flowing over the barley field !!!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of my barley drinks which I simply adore.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely know how to paint with words :) My very favourite is the first haiku...bringing that truly idyllic mood along.
ReplyDeleteOh, that healing nature power! we all know it!
ReplyDeleteHello Hank, what a surprise ... a new lay-out for your weblog, looks very fresh. Your haiku on Barley are really nicely crafted and different with your older haiku. New ways, new horizons, new thoughts on haiku writing/composing?
ReplyDeleteYeah, very soon we shall be needing to get back to basics, dietary and naturally speaking, I think. Excellent piece!
ReplyDeleteAnything green is enchanting to me!

ReplyDeleteI would love to see and touch something green and so 'kind to the eyes'....no green barley in my near future - its snowing...again
ReplyDeleteHank, this is lovely. It made me think of a song:
