Spring Haiku For You

"If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant. If we did not sometimes taste of adversity. prosperity would not be so welcome."                 ~ Anne Bradstreet

It's been a while since I've haiku'd. What better excuse than springtime to break out one of my favorite forms. Enjoy, have fun with these and relax, the Vernal Equinox is near! Can't you feel it? Look for the secret Parent Depot messages embedded within the 5-7-5 verses!

At five forty five

The Central Daylight Time zone

Will embrace a change

Have you noticed this

I feel Mother Earth turning

Tilting towards the Sun

What is that I hear?

The pop-pop of daffodils

Breaking barriers

I know it's spring, but

The clouds, the cold, still remain

Trust the change will come

Bird songs beautiful

Mixed with awakened squirrel scourge

The Good, with the Bad

A celestial cheer

To the Northern Hemisphere

Warm! Grow! Bloom! Become!

Welcome the springtime 

Embrace its immediate

The colors of life

We have persevered

Our Great Creator's reward

Winter's budge to spring

You get out there now

You've been waiting long enough

Your life beckoning

… keep coming  back
