Haibun
Japanese form, pioneered by the poet Basho, and comprising a section of prose followed by haiku. The prose and haiku should work together to create an organic whole.
At first, I wasn't quite sure it was Her, and then, I felt Her warm breath blow ever so gently across my skin and heard the trickling sound of running water fleeing Winter's icy grip. And I caught a whiff of Her unique perfume lingering on a fresh breeze, a rich, earthy aroma befitting Nature's favorite daughter. She slowly dipped Her brush into a rainbow palette and dappled color onto Winter's canvas of white, unfurling trillions of leaves to green the tops of trees. She is the Goddess for whom the birds sing, an artist extraordinaire, and the giver of life. And I, for one, welcome Spring with open arms, enchanted by Her inculpable beauty, genteel grace, and friendly, flirtatious southern-belle charm.
melting into spring
icicles shrink drop by drop...
winter bleeds water
