Spring Whimsy

Spring Whimsy winter packs his trunk full of icy fleece and flakes ~ going south for spring spring unpacks her bags rolls out green hills with poppies ~ mustard carpets glens vernal daylight sighs sheds a winter overcoat ~ nature somersaults sassy daffodils troubadours of the season ~ in the midst of snow snowdrops and tulips mingle with playful raindrops ~ hummingbirds return spring teases tree buds tickles robins and the wrens ~ jokes in cheeky fun loons and larks arrive mistral songs fill flaxen fields ~ forests swing and sway coy clouds gather in flirt with flashing thunderbolts ~ birds watch from warm nests rain tumbles through skies plays hide and seek with thunder ~ feisty blue bells stand waxing springtime moon paints rose petals platinum ~ neon night aglow impish morning sun winks at fields of red clover ~ spring born of whimsy 3-30-22 Contest: A Brian Strand Premiere Choice Sponsor: Brian Strand

Hey, I like that! Hadn't thought of multiple haikus as stanzas in a longer poem - very nice!

Hi Jeff! Thank you for your visit and very kind words. I have to credit PS and Tom Cunningham for teaching me about haiku and how to write haiku chains. Like you, I thought haiku could only be one verse. If you get a chance read Tom's haiku chain on African animals. It is amazing. And, I can't wait to see what you create. Blessings to you.
