A Spring Dream

noon dandelions
all awash in seas of gold
spring has lately sprung

butterflies and bees
in beauty's residences
happy-go-lucky

joyful greenery
the songbirds are back in town
calico cat naps

Dandelions - what a wonderful choice to start your haiku string, Evelyn. They immediately evoke a picture of spring with butterflies, bees, songbirds and a napping calico cat. Truly this is a peaceful slice of a spring day beautifully, and colorfully, painted! Your use of color just inspires me my friend. Congratulations. Blessings and hug!

Smiles that linger are by far the best kind, as long as you don't lose the essence of who you are. :D
