The Springtime Show

on the frail wings of the northern winds winter departs while the collapsed clumps of clouds hear their shrill flutter, whispering to fly far beyond the hazy horizon and to sweep away the misty layers from the opaque sky making it crystal clear and painting it with the sprinkled azure elixir of pellucid spring descending with the serenading ripples through the diaphanous air while the gossamer clouds clad in wispy ribbons of regal sapphire robe appear to entice with their satin shadows the blooming buds to unfurl their pristine petals in the rhapsody of colors around the defoliated trees coming to life after their verdant resurrection as the sunburst horizon sprays tinsels of surreal tinge on the flushing meadow where with the rhythmic flow of zephyr the floral fragrance finds the dulcet direction following the trails of butterflies weaving the hued tapestry for the springtime show under sky’s spectrum surge flashing beauty of nature floats… canvas of spring captures March 11, 2021 Contest : Springtime Haibun Contest Sponsor : M.L.
