Thanks. A Poem

I know I’m a bit late with his one, as Thanksgiving was last Thursday for my US friends, but it is still November, the thanksgiving month. And we should give thanks all year round.

I decided to write a Haibun for this. A Haibun is poetic prose followed by a Haiku complements it.

Here is my Haibun.

Thanks

The warmth of the sun caresses my face. The breeze lifts a strand of my hair, like a lover. The leaves whisper secrets above me. The brook giggles at the jokes it heard. Flowers nod in agreement with everything. Butterflies paint the forest glade in a tapestry of colour.

There is such beauty 
We have been given so much
We should be grateful.

Have you ever written a Haibun? I only recently learned of them and this is only my second.
