bright cherry blossoms
daffodils and warm spring rain
match made in heaven

Inspired by the prompt from Haiku Horizons this week.
As we left the restaurant from our dinner out last night a spring storm began to move in. While I waited in the truk for my wife, I noticed the roses in front of me begin to wave with the breeze; I’m not sure I captured it in the photo but hopefully I did in the haiku.
dark skies descend
roses dancing in the wind
spring rains approaching
one last frost
first cherry blossoms endure
bursting open bright pink
Inspired by the weather today and the weekly prompt from Haiku Horizons, I decided to try something more traditional than the English-style haiku.
For various and sundry reasons, I’ve not been in a writing/blogging frame-of-mind recently. Though generally I really enjoy writing and it usually makes me feel better, I’ve just not been in the zone – or even near the zone – lately. But today I’m feeling it a bit; and I miss participating and reading the many posts I usually do so I’m going to try to steal a few quality minutes today.
This week our host, Ronovan, brings us two new prompt words – tight and warm – that inspired this new haiku.
winter chill abounds
wrapped tight and warm protected
Spring brings butterflies
Ah, how I look forward to the change alluded to in this haiku! As many of you know, winter is not my favorite season! But Spring, that whole different story!
Have a blessed week all 🙂
The prompt for this poem was, for me, a little vague; of course I can barely imagine the time and effort our host at CDHK invests almost daily so this is not meant to be critical. So, I took the thoughts that the example haiku gave me and “wrote” with them!
spring rains green the grass
dandelions invading
peonies will soon bloom
Many thanks to Chèvrefeuille for the work he does that spawns so much creativity!
Though the actual prompt haiku was “enticing” I took a different road (big surprise I know) and my inspiration came from the hosts haiku.
Breaking through the dirt
The lilies journey begins
As Spring’s warmth arrives
Leaves have fallen now
Springtime slowly awakens
New life abounding
