TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge – Garden

This amazing Australian native plant, prosaically named the “Bottlebrush” blooms prolifically each year and then gets torn to shreds by parrots. It is the Australian way.

You know it’s Aussie Summer

When parrots attack

This tree sits in the middle of our garden and gives us shade in the summer months.

Apologies for the delay! Technical difficulties I’m afraid.

Last week’s prompt was Eggs/Egg Separator and these wonderful Haiku were the result. Do take a moment to visit these talented Haikuists. Thanks to Tucked Into A Corner for the suggestion “Garden” this week
