Wildflower haiku

algerian iris flower in close up photography
Slit 
wildflower iris —
hummingbird hungry for love
   stabs her in the eye


Daybreak
whispers of sunrise,
   wildflower voices awake — 
breath of night dew fades


Fly
the ripe poppies spit
stars into a summer's night —
   maiden seeds of flight
