Spring in the mountains
Frozen stream and bright sun dance
Warm laughter trickles
Intermission done
Velvet cloud curtains open
Sun’s speech, Spring’s tears
Winds chase Spring’s raindrops
In spirals around tree trunks —
Buds dream of leafing.
Midseason’s water
Winter and Spring’s tug of war
Snow, sleet, rain menu
Wormless hunger greets
Early robin’s arrival –
Birdbath skating rink.

This week, write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that alludes to the waters of spring (haru no mizu).
love your playground of words and sights, the cold birthing life, the mid season is beautiful here
