blue skies grant vast dancing space

sun glow hides lovers

Nicely done. I'm not so good at haiku, I tend to go the senryu way, but I can, and do, appreciate the nature-related haiku's.

I commented. I don't see it on your comment section. This happens a lot lately.

Okay. So now it is posted.

Thank you all my dear Poet friends for your loving and kind comments.

Two white butterflies came together on my balcony and I was delighted, but I understood they were not as much interested in my blooming geranium as they were in themselves ... they quickly twirled upwards in a spiral. My eyes followed them as they went higher and higher above the pine trees, then I couldn't see them anymore because it was as if they flew right into the sun, so I had to close my eyes ... Their love dance was a private matter I thought.

That's how I felt inspired to write this.

Love and Spring joy.
Margherita
