let's dress up, says spring
kaleidoscope of colors…
as painter's palette
The last snow of winter
blown by the wind
bares the gray
of branches to the sun
pregnant with buds.
Is it spring?
Testing spring
torpid from the winter
sleepy tiny buds
hesitant of the wind
search for the sun
between stalks of gray
A flash of red among the gray
a robin singing spring
drinking the sun
snow melt of winter
unfettered by the wind
shaking the buds
Softens around the buds
warmed by the sun
the frozen clay of winter
helped by the gray
showering clouds of spring
and milder wind
With gentler wind
and warming sun
the colors of spring
unfold in the opening buds
after the long gray
days of winter
Good-bye winter winds
Gray days without sun
Hello new buds of festive spring
Purple hyacinths
Gorgeous blue rhododendrons
Sunny daffodils
Tulips of every color
Spring colors light up the world.
a yellow sun burns
icicles morph into drips ~
spring sullies winter
white trillium sprout
smothering the forest floor ~
a floral blanket
green leaves ink the trees
snowmen are a dying breed ~
songbirds signal spring
meadow turns startling green overnight
monarchs and luna moths appear from hidden crevices
sun colored daffodils lead the parade
searching for umbrellas
streets are blurry
colors of spring
uplifting us
out of the throes of winter
The last snow of winter
blown by the wind
bares the gray
of branches to the sun
pregnant with buds.
Is it spring?
Testing spring
torpid from the winter
sleepy tiny buds
hesitant of the wind
search for the sun
between stalks of gray
A flash of red among the gray
a robin singing spring
drinking the sun
snow melt of winter
unfettered by the wind
shaking the buds
Softens around the buds
warmed by the sun
the frozen clay of winter
helped by the gray
showering clouds of spring
and milder wind
With gentler wind
and warming sun
the colors of spring
unfold in the opening buds
after the long gray
days of winter
Good-bye winter winds
Gray days without sun
Hello new buds of festive spring

flowers in warm spring;
the butterfly flutters by
colored and jealous
Haiku: syllable count 5/7/5
The contrast of the
bluest sky to be
and the crispest green
seen. Make one enjoy
the colors between.
From the petals,
whites thru yellows.
To Robins red,
and trees brown bark.
Outside you'll
find enough
to inspire.
Brigthest
desires.
Spring.
