Between the end of Winter and the buds of Spring-- Stuck in Frustration. Between the end of Winter and the buds of Spring-- Anticipation. Spring's Bronco Bucking, Nature's poised to burst forth--The Calendar shouts 'Halt!' (Note: This poem is a "traiku:" three consecutive, interconnected haikus)

A beautiful Traiku Gershon. Each is lovely on their own but together your poem is completely awesome! I love your line; 'Spring's bronco bucking' - such animated imagery kicking up its heels!! :) We're about to get our fourth major snowy Nor'ester so far this March, I wish Spring would get 'bronco bucking' here soon! Warmest wishes my friend! ~Susan

O, Susan! Poor you! Are you on the Cape, perchance? Gotta eat more clam 'chowdah.' Or do you pahk ya cah in Hah-vid Skwah?! Either way, here's hoping for an extra-fine Spring and Summer to make up for this wintah! And thanks for checking in on the "traiku!" Your warm encouragement is always uplifting! :) Gershon
