Thoughts of colors in
your eyes brilliance of last year
now long overdue

Seeing sprouts racing
with each other in fighting
mood for barren space

Eager show-offs with
offer of first greens right from
nature’s sincere heart

For Chev's CARPE DIEM # 685  -  first flowers of spring
and Bill's at de Verse's OpenLinkNights #144

    haiku gently drop
    like a heavenly rainfall
    to renew our hearts

    whispering sweet nothings
    scented blossoms fill the air

    Lovely. I start searching for re-growth around Christmas and rejoice with the first primroses - mid January here.

    This is a beautiful series of haiku, Hank. My favorite is the last one. How heart-warming it feels when flowers compete to show off.

    OH MY GOD.. the higher life can be..
    the more beautiful the colors of
    spring are in tune with
    Universal magic
    a play..
    and then there
    is darkness reversed
    in colors of dark but love
    conquers and colors of twigs
    and stems come back to LIFE!
