hot midday hours
sunning under Sun-flowers
she mimics the sun

This haiku was inspired by William Blake’s poem
Ah Sun-flower! weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the Sun:
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the travellers journey is done.
Where the Youth pined away with desire,
And the pale Virgin shrouded in snow:
Arise from their graves and aspire,
Where my Sun-flower wishes to go.
Ah! Sun-flower

“For the visually challenged reader, this image shows the face of a woman, partly
covered by her hair. Her visible face is covered in a glittery substance, her eyes are
closed and there’s an enigmatic expression on her face.” ~ Sadje.

Below is a gallery of the different places where these girls sunned.
Check out how different they are.
Under the pansies,
Under a dark and starry night sky,
Under the lantanas.
Under a rainbow.
The girl who sunned under Sun-flowers.
I think you can tell the sun is getting to me. I wish it’d rain.
Thanks for reading. Bee Cool.
