A little bit of a cheat as today I’m sharing a haibun so actually you’re getting 3 haiku! β€˜A flutter of black’ was first published in #Femku and the poem was published in current issue of Contemporary Haibun Online. With thanks to the editors

resting in a blue bowl
the morning sun
wakes me from a dream
of you feeding me fruit
