In a Cold Prison Yard - Haiku

bare Crepe Myrtle tree
waiting for spring to blossom
basks in the sunset

Nice haiku. You nailed it for the bare tree. Mine are bare of foliage and have been capped in snow.

When you're sitting out there staring at that tree, just imagine that soon, you'll be able to sit as long as you, want outside at home,enjoying all the views, JAM. Keep your chin up and prayer in your heart. Love, Annalise

Thank you Jimmy for your fine comments about my limerick. Some of the judges are particular about meter and some aren't. Wish you'd been the judge. I'm hoping to hear from you soon that you have put all this bad behind you Love, Joyce

I'm hoping by the time the crepe myrtle blooms, you'll be able to enjoy sitting beneath it, Jimmy. Very cool entry for the contest. Wishing you success! Love, Carolyn
