Showtime for Spring

Showtime for Spring yellow sprinkles spring with daffodils and crocus ~ sunbeams tickle boughs pink petal flurries spring breathes out apple blossoms ~ puddles of color lavender shadows splash in a lilac perfume ~ purple eclipse glows ~ orange bathes in dawn painting the poppy meadows ~ showtime for tulips shooting star flowers borrows blue from sapphire skies ~ rainbow confetti woodlands spawn teardrops non-pariels of snowdrops ~ moontime coronas

Thank you so much for your lovely note of congratulations and delightful feedback, Richard! While I do love every season, even winter, there is something so special about spring! Maybe growing up in the NW gave me a special appreciation of spring days after a long season of rain! Blessings to you for a joyful, warm, spring!!

Oh talented poet, I enjoyed the beauty and charm of spring flowers that have blossomed through your gifted pen. This poem suits so well to the spirit and mood of spring time. I have always noticed that you are a master in the haiku form. I enjoyed wallowing in your 'puddles of colors'! Hearty Congratulations dear Sam on your well deserved trophy win.

Dearest Valsa, thank you so much, sweet friend. Spring is such a contrast to the starkness, grey-white, world of winter. Spring seems to cuddle up to sleeping trees and flowers gently waking them into vibrant colors and textures with a soft breath. Suddenly, almost without noticing, we watch the world come alive! I do love to write haiku. It challenges me to look intently at nature's realm, to be aware like a little kid finding dandelions growing through sidewalk cracks. Thank you so much for sharing in this spring joy! Blessings to joy to you!

Thank you so much Ann. I just love looking at a spring garden filled with every color of the rainbow! Truly it is a welcoming sight. It was so much fun to spread out that rainbow in each haiku! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Blessing.
