Monday Morning #Haiku 76 & 77 — Sloe Berries

September sloe crop
reflects ultra violet light.
Hawfinches home in.

Human foragers
compete to harvest fruit first,
not yet drunk on gin.

  You’ve obviously tasted the stuff. I do hope you were good company afterwards, Dale. I’m not a great lover of gin in any shape or form, as it can make people very cranky!

    I’ve actually never tasted the stuff. I just kept hearing the term “sloe gin” and had no idea why it was called such!

Love the way this is both about the beauty of the fruits of the season, but you also got the gin in!

  Thank you, Andrea 🙂 It definitely required a haiku double, as I just couldn’t say all I wanted to say in one.
