Spring haiku, year deux

Spring, time to create
Renew faith in life, rebirth
And all its promise

Spring, time to believe
In the miracles, inhale
Perfume of life’s blooms

Spring, time to unfold
Choices, possibilities
One for each raindrop

Spring’s light, and shadows
Fall on some for the last time
Make way for the next

Earth and seasons turn
Plot gardens, burial plots
Cycles none escape

Baby grass springs new
Demands drink — dew, showers, tears
Nature’s thirst cares not

Spring haiku, redux

From March 20, 2011

The first day of Spring
Daffodils and crocuses
Say it’s bloomin’ time

Spring has sprung today
And that’s nothing to sneeze at
Or maybe it is

The first day of Spring
Soon the bees will be saying:
“Hey buds! Let’s party!”

Spring has sprung today
And April showers will bring
May crabgrass, you’ll see

The bunnies of spring
Are hoppin’, so their babies
Can’t be far behind

“Vernal equinox”
I think that’s the Latin for
“The back yard’s flooded”
