pleasantly chilly morning - patio is inviting! walking through the narrow path close to my house, soaking sunlight...feels heart-warming after a snowy harsh winter. browned Leaves sprawling on both sides of the pathway, waiting to return to the earth...as we do...soil wet and muddy. a yellow breast Warbler bravely approaches me - as if inviting to have a polite engaging  conversation. I enjoy mornings with birds, bees and butterflies. Never before noticed each and every bird has charming patterns on their wings - as if they want to showcase their beauty in a pageant. 

                                        stroll peaceful in sun
                           tranquil path strewed with brown leaves
                                       friendly warbler meets

slowly my path was leading me to the direction of a river bank...find more spring-birds on my way. robin and oriole are busy building their intricate nests...looked at the chartreuse sky and spotted a returning flock of geese. it's almost Spring - the season we are anxiously looking forward to...nature awakens the poet in us. 
  
                                            rebirth of beauty
                                          nature reawakening
                                                rejuvenation

Thanks, Ann. I find Haibun, a combination of prose and poetry- a very serene form. Love ~ Mala

A beautiful poem filled with music, nature and colors. Poet does Justice to her metaphor which is a curved road. Poet never loses focus of her story and never disappoints the reader. As beautiful as a prizm or rainbow. Her words are her colors
