#MLMM Heeding Haiku With Chèvrefeuille, January 16th 2019, First Day of Spring

Mind Loves Misery Menagerie has asked that we write haiku on the first day of spring.  Hopefully more than one is ok.

 

Calendar: says Spring

Ground: still frozen with heaped snow

Winter: your time’s done.

*

March’s beginning,

daffodils are still sleeping

under white blankets.

*

March’s twenty first,

daffodils and crocus push

free from white blankets.

*

Spring’s pinks and purples —

landscape’s polka dotted skirt

sways with the breezes.
