Birdsong welcomes Spring
Amidst uncommon stillness
Human voices quiet

Haiku: Lament
Spring touches a nerve
Memories call to my soul
I so want to fly
I long for new skies,
Music, color and fragrance,
To taste mystery.
Haiku: Revelation
Two flats abandoned
In the patio garden
Sad and neglected
Then one bright morning
Garden peppered with red blooms
Flats nowhere in sight
Plant fairy at work
All is ready for summer
With wave of trowel.
Haiku: Domestic Arrangements
Iron patio chairs
May lounge lazy in sunshine
Still work must be done
Mulch-filled wheelbarrow
Orange colored old veteran
Readied for service
Alas weather changed.
Backup wheelbarrow rolled out
And placed up-side-down
Like sugar bowl lid
Covering earthy compost
It keeps off the rain
Haiku: Islands in the Sun
Iron patio chairs
Stalwart remnants of Summer
Take on a new life
Retrieved from storage
Optimistic sun-seekers
Awaiting the Spring
Random arrangement
Solitary testament
To power of hope
Haiku: Spring Nudgings
Leaf buds unfurling
Squirrels nip them for dinner
Life cycles in gear
Pool cover removed
We await fresh blue water
Still wearing jackets
Moon in the night sky
Ever waxing and waning
Some things are constant
