That's a good one. Hopefully we've got some of those days coming in a couple of months this spring. "full bowl of blue sky" is an outstanding phrase.

Comment from LisaMay
aaah... you made me feel nostalgic for lemon-scented gums. (We have lovely clear blue skies here in NZ too.)
Your poem is so lovely - you've utilised the food imagery very appealingly to provide a seasonal glimpse.

Thank you so much Jenny. So lovely to have that blue sky again, and smell the gum leaves.
Such a love review. Thank you for the lovely six stars. I greatly value this honour.

Well lucky you! I don't know how that happened. Sometimes I get 3 replies to reviews or three notifications about the same thing.

I often get doubles of notifications about voting beginning, and such.

I'm loving this metaphor and that blue sky looks clean and richly coloured. You are entering Autumn as we are welcoming spring and summer, the clocks adjust next week and the weather in England is warming up, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Comment from Marienkiefer
Hello,
This is a wonderful Haiku. Original idea to show synergy in nature, depth of sky and the seasons. It creates a mood (eagerness to partake of nature and enjoy beauty of surroundings). Very nice imagery.
Great!

Comment from lyenochka
Loved it! You kept the metaphor of "food" for the soul with the "bowl" with "crisp" and "scented" and "seasoning!" And it's really beautiful there! So glad you can enjoy the autumn scents and sights!

Thank you Helen. Your review is very encouraging - I always appreciate your support. It's so lovely to have our blue skies and sunshine back!
Our summer, with all that heavy rain for so long, was so strange. Now I must get out into the garden. The roots of some of my flowering shrubs were drowned (too wet for too long) and the shrubs have died. I need to dig them out, and then replace them.
At least that's a very minor problem. Some people lost everything.

Sounds like a lot of work. Be careful for your muscles. I can walk hours but gardening works all the muscles!
Comment from T B Botts
Hello Wendy, this is a unique poem, comparing the sky to a bowl and the air and leaves to seasoning. I'd forgotten that in your part of the world it's fall. Do the leaves there turn color and fall off or doesn't it get cool enough for that to happen? I love the green of the trees. I'm glad you mentioned that they were gum trees. Well done gal.
Have a blessed day.

Hi Tom, thanks so much for your lovely review. We have some deciduous trees in my area, but the more southern and inland parts (the areas where they also can get snow) have stunning displays of Autumn leaves.

Thank you Roy, a lovely review. Yes, we have never had a summer like this one, with heavy rain for several weeks. Climate and weather patterns are definitely changing. Thanks too for the good wishes.
