Joy is seeing

sunshine's reflection

in Mother Nature's flowers.

John Denver Song

Sunny Quotes

“It is a time of quiet joy, the sunny morning. When the glittery dew is on the mallow weeds, each leaf holds a jewel which is beautiful if not valuable. This is no time for hurry or for bustle. Thoughts are slow and deep and golden in the morning.” ~ John Steinbeck

"Everyone must have felt that a cheerful friend is like a sunny day, which sheds its brightness on all around; and most of us can, as we choose, make of this world either a palace or a prison” ~ John Lubbock

"A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition. " ~ William Arthur Ward

Sunny Side Up

Flowers served sunny-side up.
Flowers served sunny-side up.

Haiku Poem: Sunny Side Up

Two flowers

nature's very own eggs

served sunny side up.

"Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine." ~ Anthony J. D'Angelo

"Keep your face always toward the sunshine- and shadows will fall behind you." ~ Walt Whitman

Haiku Poem: Seeking Shelter

Flowers seek shelter

from wind not knowing

it won't shield from the first frost.

Seeking Shelter Quotes

"Seek His shelter, O my mind; there is no other as Great as He." ~ Sri Guru Granth Sahib

"Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other." ~ Apache blessing

up and across the board HBN. I love Rod Stewart. This is a happy article that made me smile. That is worth 5 small votes, right? I want you to know I have always enjoyed your articles and they are always well done HBN. You have a kind soul and are very considerate. It has been a true joy getting to know you. Keep it up, I am always a fan, and take care. November is here in WV! Happy Holidays.

LOVED THIS! I have struggled with Haiku, even though it shouldn't be difficult to use or understand. You use the form so well. And I love the quotes, magnifying and supporting the meaning of the Haiku. Used to such effect with finesse. Stunning!

Hi Lyricwriter,

Your comment made me beam with joy this morning. Thanks so much for the heartfelt words which are very much appreciated. I've always loved Rod Stewart and I thought he did a great job on this old standard. Am glad you liked it.

Hope you're planning to enter some of your poems and hubs into the Patron of the Arts contest. If so, good luck.

I'm thrilled with the vote up across the board! Thanks.

Hi Augustine,

Oh Wow! I'm blushing clear across the country! I haven't done this since high school and had to refresh my memory by doing some research on Haiku. Am absolutely thrilled that you like the poems and thought the whole hub worked well together. It was surprisingly fun writing them.

Thank you for making my day as sunny as I tried to make this hub. I've got that warm and fuzzy feeling this morning and I'm going to bask in it for awhile.

Hi Lyricwriter,

This is turning out to be such a wonderful contest as so many of our hubber friends, including ourselves, are showcasing their work and still taking time to acknowledge, appreciate and support other writers. I think that we are all going to come out winners because it's turning out to be an inspiring and uplifting experience rather than competitive and cut throat.

Happyboomernurse, reading this has lifted my spirits today; I have just repotted my peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers today - the garden always makes me feel better...and so did your haiku.

Hi Jools99,

Am so glad that the hub raised your spirits. Yes, nature, gardens and flowers are soothing to the soul and vegetable gardens are great for both our mental and physical health! Hope you have an abundant harvest this year.
