with their high yellow note,
hold the scent of orchards

Sunflower Shining

Sunflower

Sun shines so bright,
She bows her head and squints.
As the summer fades,
Her petals wilt a bit, but
She is still aflame with color.
Sunflower drowses and dreams
Of golden days past.

Sunflower Bows

Sunflower

hazy heat dances
cello music sings from windows
sunflower bows

Note: This haiku was in response to the Carpe Diem Haiku prompt, Sunflower.
