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

Haiku: Belles ring in spring

Virginia Bluebells

Come with the whispers of spring

Blanket the landscape

First VA Bluebells - signs of an early spring

Haiku: Early iris

Bold little iris

Welcome showy blues of blues

Linger till spring comes

Flowers give such meaning and beauty to our lives. The iris got its name from an ancient Greek Goddess who used the rainbow to bridge heaven and earth.

Haiku: Oh deer

Stoic survivors

Gentle herds of herbivores

Wild on the landscape

Tara feeds the deer that visit her property, as well as the foxes and raccoons.

 

Yes, deer will eat your shrubs and flowers, but there are certain species they will overlook, unless they are starving.  Read up and save your garden.

Haiku: Honey makers

Come honey makers

Pollinate the bee magic

Summer please bring them

When buying seeds for spring planting, consider growing flowers that attract honey bees and butterflies and end the use of harmful pesticides that kill the honey bee population and harm the butterfly cycle of life.

Haiku: The Rhino

Huge ancient creatures
Endangered by human greed
Find a way to help

Haiku poem by PamelaWLucas 2/22/17

Raise your awareness.  Look into helping.

 

Haiku: Empty House

Snug bird space ready
Shoppers come daily to view
Moving in come spring

Understand the need
Team with nature to conserve
Every precious drop
