At Carpe Dieme Haiku Kai, Challenge #501 Strawberry, Kristjaan has written an extensive post on haiku on strawberry and more importantly on the reference to Strawberry Fields Forever and the Beatles. Illustrations, music video and ending with a lovely song that we all remember John Lennon singing “Imagine”. With this theme in mind, here is my humble contribution.
Strawberry
straw hat and sunscreen
squatting under bushes
picking strawberries.
~
children giggling
sunburned without a care
red smeared faces.
~
big pot of redness
controlled temperatures making
strawberry jam.
~
desert delight
angel food cake, whipped cream
fresh picked strawberries.
~
summer nights
they dance under the stars
sip strawberry wine

Isle d’Orléans – Berry picking
~
à l’Isle d’Orléans
les corbeilles se replissent
c’est l’temps des fraises
~
cueillette estival
sous le soleil brulant
fraises juteuses
~
imagine a world
pure air, open minds
love all around.
~
imagine a world
communicating love
and peace.
