a suite of haiku
pink berries
on orange leaved rowan -
sun rises red
yellow berries
on red leaved rowan -
orange sunrise
red berries
on yellow leaved rowan -
pink morning sky
Wild rowan has red berries, the trees around Edinburgh with their varied coloured berries must be ornamental varieties.
I liked how you used the different colors in the same places. If that makes any sense.

ReplyDeleteinteresting and effective use of colours.
ReplyDeleteLovely poems about one of my favorite trees! Here they are called mountain ash, but the Scottish name is so much prettier I always use it.

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful... these words will have me dreaming colors for days.

You really have a gift for poetry. I grew up in Scotland and oh, how I miss the trees. You don't see many rowans in Australia. Your poem made me homesick but also very happy!
