Timid sunflowers
up and down the restless path
from dawn until dusk
Moved and deeply inspired
sitting at the bright window
put down thoughts in lines
Why I like these haiku
Timid sunflowers
That's a real juxtaposition. I always think of sunflowers as bold and strong. The phrase "restless path" was intriguing and it made me think of the breeze rippling through the sunflower stalks.
An excellent distillation of inspiration. Yes, we have to be moved by something to be inspired. Sitting at the bright window would be enough for me to become inspired. Lovely image of light without even mentioning light. And Put down thoughts in lines - perfect way of summing up how we write haiku!
I can see the sunflowers as being restless as they are helliothropic - following the suns' path across the sky!
