Seasons' March 1

(American Style Haiku Sequence)

raindrop bullets lash
cardinal cowers in nest
tiny eggs stay dry

fragile blossoms wilt
under sunshine’s scorching rays
baby cardinals fly

radiant gems flash
on faded garden pathways
cardinal red mums

cardinal watches
bare limbs bowing down to pray
in adulation

I really enjoyed this poem. It is visually inspiring with razor like wording, no sticky lines that pull your attention away. Flows nicely.

You did a wonderful job here. I read it several times and it gently came alive for me. Emile.
