Haiku: Oh the sweet yellow

Unmatched spring beauty

Sturdy and among the first

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: 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 poem by PamelaWLucas 3/1/17

 

Haiku: Belles ring in spring

Virginia Bluebells

Come with the whispers of spring

Blanket the landscape

First VA Bluebells - signs of an early spring
First VA Bluebells – signs of an early spring in Veronica’s garden

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.
