Ok, it’s technically spring but here in Columbus we’ve had a number of chill days. Nevertheless, to welcome in spring, here are a number of haiku celebrating the season. it won’t be long before gardens are rich with blossoms.
early spring
she’s waiting for
the bloom and scent of roses
_______________
strolling ease
of spring’s first day
hand in caring hand
_______________
springtime carousel
the melody
of horses
_______________
chill rain morning
children laughing
anyway
_______________
crisp half-spring
the last snowflake
vanishes
_______________
treetop cardinals
call and response
crimson liturgy
_______________
leave me alone
I’ll leave you alone
spring hornet’s nest
_______________
we sleep
the garden grows
all night
_______________
ecstatic sway
of maple branches
pay attention
_______________
arcing flight
of springtime geese
their glad cacophony
