Dear Sara, This haiku beautifully captures the concept of rebirth and the transformative power of the sun. It portrays how new life can emerge from the earth when touched by the sun's warm rays, symbolizing a fresh beginning and renewal.

I'm grateful, dearest Sotto, for your visit and supportive words. Throughout time, the sun and it's warmth has come to symbolize the renewal of the earth and mankind. I'm a 'sun' person for sure...believe in the renewal it brings. Have a great evening, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara

Lovely haiku Sara. Rebirth brings a whole new perspective and traits. And yeah! The sun can awaken anything or anyone. I just never think of the sun as warm, lol. Astounding one.

thank you, Tonye. I share your sentiments. Rebirth does bring a whole new perspective and traits; spring brings it to mind and underscores its importance. I appreciate your beautiful comments. Have a splendid day, Sara
