My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Heeding Haiku With Chèvrefeuille, February 22nd 2017, meadow
This week Chèvrefeuille has challenged us to create a haiku with the following theme: MEADOW.
The word cuckoo gives it a sense of a flourishing riot.

Cuckoo flowers are also known as ladies’ smocks – I love both names but ladies’ smocks didn’t fit!
