Yarrow & Orange

Your daily haiku helping

Today’s daily haiku prompt words are yarrow and orange:

‘neath an orange tree

Chiron teaches Achilles

how the yarrow heals

---

an orange sun sets

across battle fields of Troy

yarrow, steaming blood

---

casting orange hues

across a field of yarrow

a summer sunset

---

I’m sure it’s just coincidence that having just read the Iliad, these prompts arrive. I hope Fleet Footed Achilles and Chiron, the most righteous of the centaurs are happy to appear in my less than epic poems too 🤗
