Whilst I prefer the full syllable count, this one made me stop, you've caught that moment when the plants have been tricked, and caught in the late snow, put against the last line which also implies warmer weather but in a different context, just right.

Great image, Deb. I didn't know Pansies were perennials. Here we have to plant them each year, but it may be different in Connecticut. Enjoyed your poem! Soup mail in a moment. Love, Carolyn

Great haiku style, Debs. SOrry but I just don't have time right now for links and such. I still have a full page of comments I can't seem to get to and it's killing me. I pray to God above that Joe gets a job soon. For one thing. I used to be able to come to Soup a lot but now life is very different for me! HOpe all is going great for you. Andrea
