Banana
peacock tail unfurls
mystical rainbow dances
golden fan invites
Note: This haiku marks the final of another week’s worth of daily food related haiku on Padaek, and I’m still enjoying writing them a lot! Although, I must admit that some of them might be a little confusing/puzzling/difficult to understand or just too abstract? Anyhow, because I’m enjoying them so much – I’ve decided to continue with another week’s worth of daily haiku – just for you. Can you handle it? To be continued tomorrow – so stay tuned. Best wishes happy people. Lots of love!

Thank you Jem! I appreciate that. Love botanical art, especially the older ones. If you follow the footnote link to the image providers Flickr page, you’ll see more beautiful plant illustrations. They also sell seeds, although they’re in California. :)
