Cowslips
A simple haiku for a D.J. Reddall challenge
You scatter yourself;
Pale stalked drops, sunny with warmth,
Randomness delights.
This haiku was written in response to a challenge from D.J. Reddall whose work you can check out here:
He is a master of many form but his particular forté is the sonnet.
The challenge was simple enough - take a theme of your choosing and a strict form, if you like, and write something.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Great last line! A simply delightful haiku!
There is something kinda fresh, springy and just lovely about this, chum, well done. Also didn't know about DJ's challenge. I love his work that I've read and love a good challenge.
Not me thinking cowslips are when they have nipslips, or in this case, teatslips 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Loved your beautiful Haiku!
