Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Haibun

Notes About The Poem

- Simple Pleasures -

The temperature fluctuates between mild spring days to rain or even snow. Nature wakes up, and the buds slowly sprout on the trees. Coltsfoot pop up as yellow rubber balls, charming yellow flowers. I find that the older I becomes, the more I love it. This time of year sings in my heart, along with a flock of whooper swans. Celebrating the arrival of spring with bubbling cider, 
and delicious food on the fire pan.


                           coltsfoot pop-up spring
                               hocus-pocus, white crocus ~
                                 dizzy by rapture


Spring is so lovely, right down to the smallest detail. Look at the bees, the queen has already laid lots of eggs. Buzzing, thousands of small bees ...spring tastes like honey - no doubt


                             do you save the bee
                                then you also save yourself ~
                                  sweet golden honey

M. L. Kiser March 27, 2021 at 12:09 PM A lovely double Haibun, quite a beautiful depiction of spring florals. We will be tasting the honey soon. Good luck in the contest.

Jennifer Proxenos March 27, 2021 at 5:30 AM The yellow cotswolds are so inspiring and full of promises of warmer weather to come, as for your hocus-pocus, white crocus - very sharp and alluring. Here's a 1st for sure Sunshine smile. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Carolyn Devonshire March 26, 2021 at 10:44 AM I love hearing about the arrival of spring in Norway, Sunshine! It's much the same here with snow still attempting to make winter linger. Such a clever line with internal rhyme: "hocus-pocus, white crocus." An excellent entry for the contest, Hon. Best wishes for a top win! Hugs, Carolyn

Judy Ball March 26, 2021 at 6:33 AM Love both but my favorite is the wise saying about the bee. Good Stuff. Hope it's a winner. It is in my book. Going into faves. God Bless, JB

Malabika Ray Choudhury March 26, 2021 at 6:27 AM Poets find solace in Nature, and Spring is the season when we find bountiful Nature at its best. Lovely haibun, and gorgeous haikus. Love ~ Mala

Sara Kendrick March 26, 2021 at 6:18 AM Very descriptive work about spring that reads like a winner to me. So much in nature to write about in the spring. I noticed different species of birds and flowers to ones that grow here. I need to look up the swan because I have never seen a swan in our area. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

Regina Mcintosh March 26, 2021 at 6:13 AM So beautiful... I call these flowers dandelions... I love them too, especially the blooms that dry and seeds blow across the air... such a soothing, sensitive and sensual blessing, rich with beauty... Your poem is like a caress from this beautiful season. God bless you with a win. Love, Gina Anne-Lise Andresen March 26, 2021 at 11:40 AM - Dandelions and Coltsfoot are two different plants, Gina :) -Coltsfoot are small, Dandelions are much bigger :) - Thank you very much for visiting and your comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
