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

  1. haiku gently drop
    like a heavenly rainfall
    to renew our hearts

  8. 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.

  9. 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!
