buds exploding
on bare branches longing for
spatter of raindrops

Just three lines can sometimes bring about such a deep inhale and emotion. I know one thing, this one made me breathe. Thanks for sharing this delightful Haiku Line

Title not needed, the perfect haiku speaks for itself, yours did, perfection. Mick

I know, Mick - but it still kills me not to add a title. At least I'm at the stage where I intentionally make my title is superfluous vs using it as a fourth meaningful line. Baby steps.
