Haiku: Red-tailed

Effortless soaring

keen hunter with strong talons

A majestic hawk

Red-tailed hawk perched in a tree
Red-tailed hawk perched and surveying its surroundings

Haiku: snowfall

Hush on the landscape

Each unique flake dances down

Finally resting

Haiku: Cherry Blossoms

Stay closed pink puffy

Braving the late winter winds

Patiently waiting

Rain wet cherry blossoms yet to open
Rain wet cherry blossoms
yet to open

Haiku poem by PamelaWLucas 3/10/17

The National Park Service predicts that the cherry blossoms will reach peak bloom sometime between March 19 and 22. They revised their forecast on March 8 in light of colder than expected temperatures forecast for the coming week. Their initial prediction, issued on March 1, was for March 14 to 17.

 

Natural world Haiku: Lily of the valley

Delicate white cups
Silent bells line their green stems
Fragrant and tiny

The natural world Haiku: wetlands

Tidal soaked sponges

Link between land and water

Creatures need this space

The natural world Haiku: river rocks

clear moving water
smoothing the hard surfaces
shining in the sun

River rocks gleaming in the sunlight
River rocks gleaming in the sunlight

Haiku: To build a nest

Gathering the stuff
Birds designing as they go
Cradle the coming

Three Robin's eggs in their nest
Three Robin’s eggs cradled in their nest.

Haiku: peaking green

peaking green slivers

slender and slow to emerge

standing tall will come

Haiku: Wild March Winds

Unleashed and moving

Spreading seeds making trees bend

Yet Invisible

Haiku by PamelaWLucas 3/2/17

We could not live without the wind…read and find out why.

 

Haiku: Come spring rains

Delicate touches

nature emerges with drops

wet and nurturing

Orange and yellow tulip about to open welcoming the raindrops
Orange and yellow tulip about to open welcoming the raindrops
