Peaceful Beginnings

With the first warm breeze,
Flowers wake stretching for food:
Reaching for the sun.

Nice use of personification for a creative poem. I can't wait for spring and the "warm breeze." Nice one! Thank you for your kind comment. Have a good day. Karen

What beautiful images this conveys ;) almost like I can see smiling sunflowers reaching for the sky, with the warm wind gently blowing through their leaves. Such a pretty haiku! Love, Amy

Simple truth worded perfectly. This is a really great Haiku pointing out the beauty and magic of nature that so many of us take for granted everyday. Very well done. Smiles from Lolita
