A Handful of Haiku: Waiting For Spring

Like the souls of trees
Naked branches in Winter
Pray for early Spring

The earth cannot die
Nature is eternal life
Resurrects each Spring

These are very nice, Jim. To me, a naked tree is about as cold and lonely a look as I can think of.

D'accord, Daniel. Thanks.
