Sara Kendrick Poet Haiku

A Symbol of Spring's Resurrection

cold February's
rain saturates the good earth...
star magnolia blooms  

A symbol of spring's resurrection are those early blossoms. The Daffodils spring up under the bright yellow Forsythia and beautiful pink tulip shaped flowers cover the Japanese Magnolia. Resurrection stated in the most subtle way. They say to me there is hope that the sun will soon warm the earth's soil signaling to all of nature to come alive.

red buds glow 
decorating the roadside...
heavy fog cloaks all  

Spring's presence can be unobtrusive slipping in like a lamb.  One day it is winter then a heady essence wafts on a zephyr that aroma of pale lavender Wisteria announcing spring has sprung.

Andrea Dietrich February 13, 2013 at 2:46 PM Lots of pretty imagery making me long for spring!! sara, was this Georgia ice storm about seven to nine years ago?? I think that is when it happened in Kentucky that one time. Sara Kendrick September 22, 2020 at 7:03 AM Andrea, We have had ice storms but I don't remember if there was one seven to nine years ago. LOL..Senior moments. There was one in 1964. I remember that one because my son was born toward the end of it. Sara
