Late March

Später März / Late March / Finales de marzo Jetzt im späten März Endlich der ersehnte Frühling Mit bunten Blüten Doch plötzlich neuer Schneefall Kalter Wind aus den Bergen Now in late March At last the longed for spring With colorful flowers But suddenly new snowfall And cold wind from the mountains Finales de marzo Desiada primavera Flores coloridas Pero luego nevada Viento frío de montañas

lol. I'm chuckling because we've had a similar trick played on us by the weather, Gert. We had two beautiful days of pre-spring sunshine and soft winds and the third day brought a heavy downpour of rain. I don't mind the rain because it's necessary but I was so ready for spring! Beautiful Haiku as always! Annalise

Gert, I'm sorry to hear you are still experiencing so much pain in your arm. Prayers headed your way. Perhaps a kindly pelican will carry them to Germany. Love and blessings for a speedy recovery, Carolyn

Nature can play tricks on us, Gert. We think spring has finally arrived and then suddenly there's a late snowfall. Beautifuly tanka, my friend. Love, Carolyn
