eyes of innocence
childhood curiosity, bright
dandelion seeds
~0~0
children in the streets
playing ball, tag, running free,
bells pealing laughter

Oh I love this photograph. The haiku goes with it perfectly!
ReplyDeletea-a-a-ah Summer...our first day of 'real' winter...and I'm tired of it already;))
ReplyDeleteSuch fun, as life has no limits or the ugly side isn't scene, at least hopefully that is the case.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful... in word and image. I love the eyes of innocence...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - I second that :) Innocence and laughter. Weren't those childhood days full of magic?!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful image and words...you have written so well the joy and innocence of childhood.
ReplyDeleteLovely image, and the haiku set is awesome. Thanks for sharing these with us.
ReplyDeletethis is so beautiful Grace. because innocence and laughter is what i associate with my childhood. when i see the playground we used to play in empty... i feel like crying. because there is no luaghter now.. only silence...
ReplyDeletebeautiful photo, and ofcourse, beautiful Haiku :)
I like that second one! So much, it is very true, and endearing! :) I also miss those playground days, like Kirti says.. Nostalgia is very powerful.
ReplyDeleteeyes of innocence just sums it up beautifully. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThe beauty of childhood innocence captured poignantly in the child lost in time all by herself.

A happy, inquisitive childhood. Nothing better for a start in life.
ReplyDeleteJust when I read that, I could instantly feel the dust of seeds mixed with scent, fluttering butterflies and heat playing for hours in the playground after school. I agree with Leo & Kriti, Nostalgia is powerful and so as the words are. Sometimes, a single word sets a difference and takes you back to the times where your soul is. Loved this Haiku & those last two words :)

Even dandelion seeds seem special through the eyes of a child. (Of course, you said it much better than I just did, Haiku Queen!)
