Senryu and Haiku

When I knew your name

birds sang such sweet lullabies

near our meadow's bed. --- JEF

***

A trickling brook's sound

conjures a mid-winter's dream

of flowered meadows. --- JEF

***

Nature's concerto,

the flight of the Hummingbird

in Rufous minor. --- JEF

***

Jay-bird snatches worm

from soil so recently turned

in the herb garden. --- JEF

I loved your play on words in this smoothly executed poem. ...The fight of the Hummingbird... never sounded so good.

Thanks so much for responding and I'm happy you like it. :)

I was all aglow in the poetic flow, then got caught by rufous. After looking it up I went, ahhh, now I know!

Isn't it great when you find out that you are still curious enough to search? I wrote the lines, --- "Nature's concerto,
the flight of the Hummingbird"
Then I googled to see if there was such a thing. --- Ta-Dah! :) I love it when a plan comes together. LOL

Me too! I wish I had started reading you earlier. This is all pretty overwhelming for a newbie. Trying to find the time for it all. I have a bad habit of rewriting haiku and Senryu when people post it. I left you alone but I might start on you so please don't be offended. Or if so, let me know...
