Looking

 

Young men, gaze upwards

I too turn and look with them;

a mackerel sky.

Spring arrives

.

Small cotton wool clouds

dot a vast expanse of blue;

a welcome return.

Starburst

 

Magnolia tree

bursting with delicate blooms

snow white in the spring.

Comma (2)

 

A warm Spring morning

punctuated only by

a passing comma.

  • adapted from an earlier haiku, prompted by seeing my first garden butterfly of the season. Origination is not coming too easily for me at the moment.

Sprinter

 

Enough already!

Winter’s tendrils holding fast,

bring me some sunshine.

New hope

 

On hold no longer

Spring’s majestic arrival

cheers tired, jaded hearts.

Winter in Spring

 

Wind-sculpted snow drifts

soften a harsh urban hill;

children on sledges.

House sparrow

 

House sparrows twitter

from gutters and garden shrubs

warming tepid hearts.

Magnolia

 

The fattening buds

filled with the promise of Spring;

not much longer now.

Renewal

 

Deep winter decay

from which all life emerges;

faintest hint of spring.
