Seed pods on a palo verde tree, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
 


blasted by the sun
ten thousand tiny seed pods
swelling up with light

    And when they burst how magical that will be – like stars or glow worms..maybe..we all need a little sun to grow

    There is a season for seedpods and one for survival… I hope the heat will not be too bad this year.

    Hopefully, the seeds were planted with love and will burst forth in the sun full of life.

    Delicious haiku. Just perfect. The heat, the color, the image that grows in our minds through your planted words.

    They are waiting to see what befalls them, something only mother nature knows and isn’t telling yet.

    They react strongly when they get heated like some unreasonable people. More risky here when they have numbers!
