I received a request from my friend Lynn, a fellow blogger of the site, “LynzRealCooking“, to write a Haiku inspired by an incredible photo she took while on a walk at a nearby arboretum.
You should visit her blog. As its title suggests, you will find a variety of wonderful recipes that she has perfected over the years while raising her 9 children. But an added bonus and the heart of her blog are the compelling stories she shares from her life as a young mother raising children in the middle sat. Click HERE to visit Lynn’s blog.
I wrote a trio of Haiku inspired by Lynn’s tree photo. If you look closely at the tree on the right, I hope you’ll see “her”.

Fragile limbs exposed await
Rebirth in the Spring.
Rebirth in the Spring
Reveals a resilience
Surging from her core…

Audacious perseverance
Weath’ring every storm.

First of all, I love the image of the shapely tree as a lady. This is an excellent interpretation of the scenery, Kat. Secondly, your Haiku trio is beautiful. It really represents the seasons well from Fall to Spring. Take care and much happiness wished for you and Lyn this season. 🙂

Thank you so much for stopping by. When I saw Lynn’s photo and the shape of that tree I thought it was amazing! It looks to be a River Birch. The symbolism of this tree was inspiration as well. Very synchronistic that Lynn took the photo I think 🙂
