May morning -

three ants in the lid

of the honey jar

***

matin de mai -

trois fourmis dans le couvercle

du pot de miel

cherry blossoms
May wind and butterfly -
writing a haiku ?

***

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

trees dance

in the sunset glow-

spring breeze

dawn light
nothing else
in the spider web

lumière de l'aube
rien d'autre
dans la toile d'araignée

daffodils dead

daffodils dead
dandelions and daisies
take over

cool morning

cool morning
in these spring leaves
fall colors

april wind -
a dead leaf
in my right shoe

vent d'avril -
une feuille morte
dans ma chaussure droite

Haiku - Vows

morning in my town –
bees and their blossoms
renewing vows

(Cross-posted at But Wait, There's More!)

Falling

falling so fast
it's invisible--
april rain

No Sunrise

no sunrise...
dew beads
on a dead lilac

Swirl

swirl of the dentist's drill...
rain falling
straight down

March snow -
white flowers
in the forsythia

***

neige de mars -
des fleurs blanches
dans le forsythia

Easter Mass

easter mass
the candle flames
stright up

walking under
a spring moon
the wind sighs

First Day of Spring

first day of spring
my friend
goes into labor

pure white
of snowdrop petals
first child

Touching

touching
for the first time
wildflowers

Home Late

home late
on the rose stem
new thorns

Purple Nettle

purple nettle...
beneath her make-up
a darkened bruise

lunar eclipse

a week of clear skies
night of the lunar eclipse
clouds come to cover

Waking up to bright sunshine and clear blue skies the gray dreariness of the past several days is now banished from my mind. Though the air is still cool and crisp the creamy Narcissists and hot pink Hyacinths remind me that spring is ready to show her beautiful face once again with all of her many colors.

spring sunshine
dresses up hyacinths
in hot pink colors
