Path along the fence
Sight to see with colorful
flowers all along

Path across a stream
Fording the shallow waters
Thrill for the youngsters

Grazing land with path
seldom used, lest charging bulls
appear raging mad

For Chev's CARPE DIEM #515  - with Buson's  on short-cut path

  6. Great haiku Hank ... every one a different image .... giving us the space to be ourselves and find ourselves in a different place. Thanks!

  7. Charming set. Suburbia on the edge of a small wooded and weeding utility easment - that's where I live. But just a few miles up the road I bet I could find a nice farm that looks just like your photo! And the children, stream and bulls too.
