Tulips


spring spreads special spell
butterflies and birds flutter ~
tulips undulate       

wind carries magic
tall tulips tell taunting tales ~
pollen fairy dust

I like the illiteration in your poem, its imagery is lovely. "Pollen Fairy dust" How dainty and maybe glittery. My daughter made fairy houses as a child. This line made me think of fairies and smile. I had pink tulips at my wedding. Another nice memory your poem brought me. This was delightful and fun to read outloud. I liked it so much.

Strange tulips survive just one year in Malta because the soil is warm. Otherwise great haikus. Best for a win.
