National Poetry Month - Day 1 - haiku

 

April weather fools

 

with garden prospects. I must

 

cover early buds.

Spring Haiku

 

Such delightful things

 

are uncovered when last Fall's

 

detritus is cleared.

Haiku

Today we renounced

 

Winter by cooking burgers

 

on the charcoal grill.

 

Haiku

 

 

Amaryllis stare

 

wistfully at the Winter.

 

Do they dream of Spring?

Polar Vortex Haiku

Stuck in traffic on

the West End Bridge, couldn't see

Pittsburgh for the snow!

haiku

 

Seeds helicopter

 

down from the maple trees, toys

 

for the playful wind.

haiku

 

Sunlight sparkles in

 

May Day blossoms, fluttering

 

their hello to Spring.

haiku

 

Cherry blossom snow

 

is a sure sign of Spring and

 

there's no shoveling.

 

 

haiku

 

Feral daffodils

 

where a home was demolished -

 

we "rescue" the bulbs.

haiku

 

Mothering my lone

 

daffodil bud, I bundle

 

it up on cold nights.

haiku

 

Last night's snow drips and

 

 

crackles, sounding like today's

 

 

breakfast cereal.




Haiku (for Punxsutawney Phil)

Snow approaches in

the shadow of the Groundhog's

faulty prediction.
