Reminiscing on some Haikus from the past. These seemed a good way to honor spring and welcome summer.
March
Quivering seed pods
Last year’s fruit, This year’s promise
Red buds produce life.
April
April ‘to Open’
Birds beckon, flowers unfold
Hope, re-birth, re-new.
May
Dampness Awakens.
Slow green shoots appear and grow.
Spring bursts in splendor.
How goes butterfly
So gaily in morning dew.
Quiet. Elusive.
Surf booms, with great roar.
Coquinas ride waves to rest
On white, clean beaches.
Pelicans I
Spring aerial art.
Wheeling, gliding all in sync
Pelicans migrate.
Pelicans II
Spring aerial art
Banks, wheel. Dive. Glide in sync
Pelicans migrate.
Mountain tall, distant
Shelters small creatures that live
In harmony there.
Laughter tumbles free,
From souls to the earth.
Children, living gifts.
Understand
Begin where we are
Understanding nuances
Plain talk ease nerves.
