Changing Seasons

starling on water 
in a reflection of moon
dreamy dawn maroon

otherworldly blooms
bestowed by summer just past
time's going too fast

dewdrops pink roses
scents as I come out the door
no gloom anymore

green trees and sunshine
a new neighbor on my street
mauve days no repeat

each season's colors
like redbird of Illinois
leaves memory joys

Sam Kauffman February 27, 2026 at 11:57 AM Evelyn, congratulations on your win! Your haiku string is an enchanted rainbow that colors each day! Your third haiku really touched me as we have a Daphne plant by our front door that blooms in January and February. It's sweet perfume greets me every time I come and go! Blessings to you my friend! BTW - did you paint the wonderful picture at the top of this poem? I love it. Evelyn Judy Buehler February 27, 2026 at 1:08 PM Your warm congratulations are so much appreciated, Sam. I am delighted to know you enjoyed this haiku string, and that it holds pleasant associations for you. Thank you, but no, the picture above is not my work. It is the work of Gerd Altmann at Pixabay. Thank you for your kind thoughts. :)
