Flowers Radiate Beauty: Haiku for Avid Flower Lovers

By Frederica R. Burrage

SPRING BRINGS DAZZLING BIRTHS
LONGING FOR NICE SUMMER RAYS
DAYS OF AUTUMN SPICE

Flowers Radiate Beauty is a collection of haiku that invokes wonder and
expresses emotion from the eye’s of an avid nature lover. This world is full
of big and small, beautiful creations, tiny and tall. Witnessing the
splendidness of our environment, our senses delight in the pleasures of
Earth’s illustrious treasures. We truly do, reap what we sow. It is
incumbent for everyone to see the forest for the trees and stop to smell the
roses (yes, cliches). Seriously, each human being should be grateful to
share the glory of such lush greenery and vast waters with other
inquisitive and unique animals, on land and in the sea. We should not take
anything for granted. Life is truly what you make it and we all
need to take an account in preserving our God-given habitat and all of its
organisms.
Firefighters witness many unfortunate tragedies. Seeing people at their
worst, in pain and in need of fire or medical services, has put life into
perspective for me. It has been said, that if you love what you do, you’ll
never have to work. No cliché. I’m fortunate to have a network of
supportive friends. I enjoy helping others and encouraging them to
maintain a positive attitude through adversity. Having the opportunity
to speak with my flowers, affords me time to meditate and reflect on
meaningful moments. I hope that you also find joy in watching objects
flourish.
