Winter Sheds Its Pall

winter sheds its pall
flora springs to life anew
with flamboyant flair

Very beautiful Haiku. Most impressive, specially the first line reading 'winter sheds its pall'. The Haiku paints an elegant picture of spring. Thank you also for your enlightened comments on my poem the Yesteryears. -Mohammad
