Notes About The Poem

For The Contest, "Your Choice P"
Sponsor, Brian Strand

 

Seasons of Trees - Split Haikus

trees with sprouting limbs
bathed by spring's April showers
don
their lacy green robes

trees with dense full limbs
swayed by warm summer breezes
spread
their green velvet capes

trees with brilliant limbs
whirled by the cool autumn winds
shed
their burnished gold gowns

trees with cold bare limbs
frozen by winter blizzards
drape
their white fluffy scarves

Timothy Hicks April 2, 2016 at 8:42 PM A fun and creative way to do these split haiku, Sandra. I also liked how you used your one syllable lines to your advantage, using meaningful words: don, spread, shed, drape. Some I've read use words like, "a, an, the, of" etc., which sounds somewhat off to me. Best of luck, my friend! Sandra Haight April 3, 2016 at 8:05 AM Thank you, Tim, for your detailed and positive comment. I am pleased you liked the way I wrote this, and I appreciate visit and support very much. Sandra
