In honor of International Haiku Poetry Day I contributed to the 2020 Earthrise Rolling Haiku Collaboration. This year’s theme was “the nurse.”

June 5: Rhododendrons
Kristen Lindquist
Spent the morning at the exquisite Asticou Azalea Garden and was reminded again why I love rhododendrons so much.
Grandmother's rhododendron--
I hide underneath
protected by bees.
May 7: Grandmother
Kristen Lindquist
If my grandmother were still alive, today would be her 102nd birthday. Also, she'd have been thrilled that the Kentucky Derby was on her birthday; we loved to watch the horse race together each year.
Your view's hidden by fog
but some mayflowers still bloom
on your birthday.
