Spring Blossom Tanka

blossoms fall,

tumbling in a stiff breeze;

on the ground

they form a purple shadow,

ignoring the sunlight

 

Springtime Haiku

breezy days
cool air weaves its way
through the pines

 

birds abound,
passing through again,
heading home

 

the spring thaw
muddy ground squishes
underfoot

 

dripping leaves,
patter of bulbous rain;
din of spring

 

color bursts,
fatal assault upon
dreary days

dandelion
arrives to party first
eager flower

a bud breaks open
its tiny leaf waves hello
welcoming the spring

spring’s urgent leisure
flowers drop a fine pollen
to ride listless winds
