Line Gauthier Poet Haibun

Notes About The Poem

Spring Ritual

Spring will forever be the time for renewals when brisk fresh air invigorates our drowsy muse. Tickling every inner child, beckoning them to come out for a playdate. And ever so gleefully we crack open the treasure chest of possibilities, dust it off to see what gems we can uncover.



                                                                             dawn of
                                                                             fresh beginnings
                                                                             old shoes new paths
