Sweet, relaxing, sunny, rainy, gentle spring is with us here in Central Ohio. Not too warm, not too chill, often just right. Here are haiku in celebration of the season.
touching earth
earth
touching me

strolling the country road
looking right, looking left
I never arrive

huge bumblebee
chasing you
you think

all-night rain
circling moon
cradled sleep

early spring
she’s waiting for
the bloom and scent of roses

showering pink
the crabapple
surrenders her blossoms

toppled
garbage bins
of hound dog spring

astounding leaps
branch to branch
squirrel Olympiad!

he vanished
from his thoughts
clear lake contentment

these gifts
the falling sun
the shadowed breezes

the backyard oak
drops a limb
like me, imperfect
_____________________
rain-swept earthworm
blocks her path
she steps aside
