From Spring to Summer

Summer time

It’s a lifetime
the learning process,
but it seems evidence
that after Spring
comes Summer



--

Thank you to all of you for this wonderful Spring Haiku.

May morning -
three ants in the lid
of the honey jar


***

matin de mai -
trois fourmis dans le couvercle
du pot de miel

Day in day out

Day in, day out,
it is raining - old birch trees
knitting a green lace


Päivästä toiseen
sataa - koivut kutovat
vihreää pitsiä

afternoon commute
spring rain soothing
my jangles nerves

after shift from hell
pulling out extra weeds
form the garden beds
red-tipped apple blossom -
bee visits the
house of a thousand kisses

Enjoying the sights...

afternoon commute
dogwood blossoms
bounce in the breeze
such joy
cherry blossom swirling:
one rides on a dog's nose

home depot run
chatting with the maples
to see which one is mine

balmy spring evening

a fox startled in the headlights;

coming out of church

cherry blossoms
May wind and butterfly -
writing a haiku ?

***

fleurs de cerisiers
vent de mai et papillon -
écrire un haiku ?

quiet afternoon
landscape planning
for friend's new house

Early Summer Evening

It’s getting late
blue sky and white clouds
Blackbird and I
still sitting out
enjoying the evening

retail therapy

hard month at work
mulling over which new plant
will make it better

Summer Haiku 2008 in a fortnight


About a fortnight to start Summer 2008 Haiku

This haiku site will end on May 12, 2008.

Is there a Haiku Soul who wants to create and administer the Summer Haiku 2008 blog?

Write to me at ashi@kjaersweb.dk

I haven't been written much this Spring, but I have the feeling that Spring Haiku 2008 has been a rather productive for others. I hope that this spirit will continue in a Summer Haiku 2008 blog.

May Day
an ominous lump on
the radiograph
afternoon chores
filling some new flower pots
while the dryer runs
mother's hands
buried in the earth -
her cherry tree blossoming
