✨️🕊🌿🍵🪻🍵🌿🕊✨️ forgiveness finds me over the falling cup hydrangeas #SenryuSunday #PaintbyWords #EastCoastKin #BloomScrolling

Nature photography is where I find my calm center. This is a photo I took of cream and blue hydrangeas. The entire frame is clustered with pale blooms, pressing, lifting, and sharing the light with one another.

The language of flowers: Among the many legends of Japan, is the most famous story behind hydrangea symbolism. Ages ago, a powerful emperor chose royal duties over his lover. To apologize for his absence and to express deep affection, he gifted her a bouquet of hydrangeas. To this day, the flower is still given as a sincere gesture of regret and gratitude.

This symbolic meaning inspired my latest senryu:

forgiveness finds me
over the falling cup
hydrangeas

Happy International #Haiku #Poetry Day! Thank you, Haiku Association of Sri Lanka, Palitha Senarathna, Radhika De Silva, and Lanka Siriwardana. You all did a splendid job. Congratulations on your first contest! My gratitude also goes out to the honorable judge, Ravi Kiran, for including my haiku.

‘Whispers of Nature’ First International Haiku Contest 2026

Haiku Association of Sri Lanka

Honourable Mention

beach day
baby’ s first prints
return to sea

Tré – USA

Ravi Kiran's commentary: The crux of this haiku is the second line. Different babies take differently to their first visit to a beach. Some get very excited and others get petrified. Once the feeling settles, babies instinctively explore and are amazed at how they can leave footprints in the wet sands. The last line captures the cyclic nature of life.

✨️♡🌳🌰🌳♡✨️ existence fractures in oak's shade I drop 10,000 hearts #EastCoastKin #ShowHeart #ImageAndVerse #Cassiopeian #Exist #SenryuSunday #senryu #haiku #micropoetry #photography #macro #nationalpoetrymonth #poetrymonth #classicmono

$Here is a black and white nature photo of an acorn split in have, revealing its heart shape inside. The seed half rests in the upper left side, its top slightly tilts left on a fallen log. In the background, textures of cracks and wood chips dip in and out of the bokeh. Fun fact: The average oak produces 2,000 to 10,000 acorns a year. During the tree’s “mast year,” which occurs every 2-5 years to ensure survival, it produces 10,000 acorns. Also known as bumper crops, this massive output helps the seeds escape being eaten. Nature is incredible. I couldn’t help but wonder, what about our output of love? Is more love in our lives the answer to our survival? Focusing on building supportive communities, friendship, and nurturing the land feels right. For us, every year can be a mast year; this realization inspired the latest alliterative senryu from my journal. existence fractures in oak's shade I drop 10,000 hearts$

Many thanks to DJ Tyrer, 5-7-5 #Haiku Journal, and Atlantean #Publishing. 🙏 In the Blue Ridge, mossy trails wind velvety green miles, knowing exactly where to go. Crossing paths, migrating leaves wander the wilds without aim or care. They both share the mountain. ✨️🍂🌱⛰️🌱🍂✨️ #poetrycommunity #poetry

I awoke as fog rolled over the spring mountain, and took this landscape photo deep within the Primland forest. In wavering veils, the understory blinked in and out of its mossy bed. Half monochrome, half green—a white softness layers the distance with ghostly limbs. How hauntingly beautiful the saplings were in their slender splays of sleepy branches, appearing and disappearing like dendritic secrets.

Here is a macro nature photograph I took of the Mimosa blossoms, blooming in my backyard. We planted this Mimosa 7 years ago. This is its first year blooming, and it decided to do so on my father's birthday. What a very special year for a very special tree. The hot pink stamen filaments look like fireworks against the soft blue and purple bokeh of the background. Pops of blurred pink hint at more surrounding blossoms. Its green buds peep and hide around the flowers like verdant mines about to burst into bloom.

My cameo silhouette portrait of the fire breather and dancer Sky Claudette Soto in NYC. She leans from the darkness into the light, creating a cameo silhouette of her face. The beaded cap she's wearing catches light, as does her soft shoulder and feather bando, curving into the secondary spotlight from behind. This was shot with a Nikon Z8.
