When the flower moon turns its pale face to the evening dusk, the sun has barely set. Black-birds still holler and the scent of bird cherries fills the May twilight. It drizzled earlier today and the cowslips still bend, laden with rain. The forget-me-nots have started to bloom, and my garden mind its own business.
During the weekend a deer gave birth to two kids in a remote corner of the garden and hid them for a while among the lilies of the valley. I think she has found her way back to the forest with her litter.

Today Frank hosts Haibun moon at dVerse and want us to write to the flower moon, the full moon of May.

Björn Rudbergs writings 
Beautiful and evocative, Bjorn! I was right there, in the midst of it!
I am so glad that you too have had the experience of deer being born in your garden, Björn! I haven’t seen any recently, but I’m always on the lookout. I love the hollering blackbirds and the bent cowslip. We too have forget-me-nots.
Beautifully done Bjorn. Love the fawns!
Beautiful.
This is beautiful and delicate, like the new born deer! I love the atmosphere evoked in your descriptions: ‘the cowslips still bend, laden with rain.’ Just lovely!
stunning
What a lovely treat to have that in your garden!
So beautiful, Björn. It’s filled with the sights and scents of spring–I love the rain, and the little fawns.
Reblogged this on Frank J. Tassone and commented:
#Haiku Happenings #5: Bjorn’s latest #haibun for dVerse Poets’ Haibun Monday!
Your haibun ends on a lovely delicate note
Happy Monday
Much💚love
Gentleness, birth and rebirth, all intertwined within a bouquet of words; Thank you for the “feel good” poetics. I adore your haiku.
Awesome work, Bjorn. Springalicious!
Oh how sweet!
You set the perfect stage for your tender haiku.
“Soft hands of a girl”… excellent!

A baby fawn and lilacs. Delightful ☺️
Immersive descriptors of your garden, which has the air of Eden about it. The visual of a mother deer and her kids in lily of the valley in a hidden corner is as close to perfect as perfect gets. Lovely!
This is tender and lovely Bjorn! Excellent…🙂
i love how you captured these tender moments softly, Bjorn. the lilacs sigh.
Sounds so perfectly idyllic. ❤
SO CUTE!
Also, I’d never heard of bird cherries! Interesting.
❤

So beautiful – what a wonderful description.
Tender. I adore this. Thanks for sharing.
So much beauty! (K)
I disturbed a hind with a young one here yesterday. She knew where she’d be safe.
Beautifully descriptive and peaceful.
Such beautiful prose. Descriptive enough to really put you there. I wish a fawn had kids in my garden instead of just eating my tulips.
A beautiful picture painted by words, thank you. Forget-me-nots are my favourite flower, so bonus points from me there.
the baby fawn is wonderful. 🙂
I tried to leave a comment on your blog but could not… loved your haibun
And it’s just another day in May. Beautiful!!!
What a treat to have fawns in your garden Bjorn, a special time to treasure 🙂
