Each stanza stands alone as a haiku while subtly connecting through themes of nature and fleeting beauty.

impulsive nature
a sparrow darts through the reeds, 
startling the still pond 

lauds summer in floral dress
sunlight spills gold through the trees, 
painting the warm grass 

intoxicating
the scent of ripe peaches lingers 
on the evening breeze
