Daily savings time is coming up in less than two weeks and there are hints of spring in the air here in Central Ohio: sunny skies, warming temperatures. Here are haiku to welcome in spring.
strolling ease
of spring’s first day
hand in caring hand
____________________
springtime carousel
the melody
of horses
____________________
we sleep
the garden grows
all night
____________________
thunder
slams against my window
spring obstreperous
____________________
gazing far up
into mulberry branches
elder-adventure
____________________
arcing flight
of springtime geese
their glad cacophony
____________________
ecstatic sway
of maple branches
pay attention
___________________
thundercloud
the beauty
of advancing darkness
____________________
chill rain morning
children laughing
anyway

treetop cardinals
call and response
crimson liturgy

crisp half-spring
the last snowflake
vanishes

spider lowering
off my hat brim
peaceful coexistence

gardening
she falls away
from herself

he slowed to greet
the tortoise
of his life
