      The Results of A Little Iris Haiku Contest, Croatia 2020

      all these trees

      he planted years ago

      new whispering leaves

       

      The substance of this haiku directly addresses the contest theme. Trees, of course, absorb carbon dioxide as they grow, so these trees planted in the past were an investment in our future. The person who planted these trees must have had faith and patience that some day they would help future generations. This person may or may not still be alive, but his trees are. Maybe that is what the leaves are whispering. I found this haiku refreshing to recite out loud. It is lyrical in sound and balanced in sight.

      Earth Day

      on every banner wave

      forget-me-nots

       

        When I think of Earth Day I recall attendingthe the very first one on April 22, 1970. On our local fairgrounds, in addition to speakers there were exhibit booths and many colorful banners with slogans. One connection to forget-me-nots is that flower petals are sometimes called “banners” and this one has five! But, wait. There’s more. This particular flower symbolizes loss, but also hope. The observation of Earth Day and the celebration of this colorful flower bring optimism that there is still time to remedy environmental harm and make repairs needed to make a better future. Earth Day is action-oriented, which the U.N. theme calls us to take. This past year marked its 50th anniversary and its voice remains strong.
