Old Garden Haiku
My name is Jamie Lee Hamann and I started sharing poetry articles back in 2013. Every year I share a poem a day in April.
Old Garden Haiku
Between the seed leaves
enfolded within each seed
elongates to stem.
A terminal bud
apex that drives growth upward
towards a heaven.
Plant biology
complexity of all life
miracle of seed.
To move water up
create the food to go down
work creates balance.
From sugar to starch
from leaf to stem then to roots
then starch to sugar.
As true leaf expands
begin as a mature plant
photosynthesis.
Dormant in winter
some plant hibernate till spring
to conserve water.
All conservation
every cellular action
this is nature's way.
