I have lived near fields of sunflowers and with this haiku you have captured the radiance of "smiles." I don't believe anyone can escape their cheerfulness.

Thank you for your lovely review. They are not as highly esteemed as some flowers and yet they are very complex in structure, have their own charm, and definitely are strong and cheerful.

I love sunflowers and you have described them so well in such few words. Nodding their heads, so sunny and bright and happy in feeling, these flowers certainly bring joy! I lovely 5-7-5.

Thank you Karyn. You understand perfectly. They are not as highly esteemed as some flowers, but they are bright and cheerful always, and eye-catching.

Only just three short months away and we will be basking in sunshine! Oh my.

This is nicely written and well done. Even the color scheme matches the theme that you are presenting here. Very good indeed!

Thank you for a super review. Yes, I am appreciating their beauty and strength and cheerfulness more and more now that I have some in a corner of my garden.

nodding at the sun
golden heads bask in sunshine -
summer's cheerful smile

Well, it true, Sunflowers do at times look they are nodding at the sun. I think they follow the sun too. Not sure about that.

I think this is well done and matches what a Haiku should be about.

Thank you for reviewing. And yes they do always turn to face the sun, and the summer breezes make them look like they are nodding.
