Francine Roberts Poet Haiku

A New Day Begins

soft pink on grey sky
   sunrise begins with colour
      ...the birds awaken

Bird song greets the dawn
   bringing the morning alive
      ... a new day begins

the day brings sunshine
    warming the once frozen earth
       ... spring sounds fill the air

the air fresh and brisk
  winter's bite now forgotten
     ... the sun shares her warmth





for Charles Henderson's 'string haiku' contest
