old friends meet
speak of dreams dead and new
the first spring storm brews

#haiku #poem #spring

through the haze
can’t tell which trees
are still naked

#haiku #poem #spring

perché dans l'arbre
un drôle d'oiseau
miaule pour descendre

#haïku
#senryū

quiet koi pond
disturbed only by fountains
fifteen gleaming coins

#haiku #poem #spring

under the surface
tadpoles conduct their meetings
poorly organized

#haiku #poetry #spring

they hit the windshield,
a noise not unlike pop rocks.
heavy spring downpour

#haiku #poem #spring

piano music
drifts to my desk, recounting
muddy roads and shoes

#haiku #poem #spring

broken clock ticking
at 6:44:40
lizard’s flicking tongue

#haiku #poem #spring

spring snow sloshes
but in the distance, I hear it
a man sings

#haiku #poem #spring

a cake
to help overcome
spring melancholy

#haiku #poem #spring

layer of pine nuts
sprinkled over cake batter,
ready for the flame

#haiku #poem #poetry #spring

the lengthening days
play at matching my senses
they feel much longer

#haiku #poem #spring

the window outside
twigs and branches prepare
tranquil, studious

#haiku #poem #spring

briefly, flight
before tumbling downwards-
a tossed kite

#haiku #poem #spring

disappointed, trite
seeds sown are never enough
no sprouts to be seen

#haiku #spring #seeds #poetry

spring sunbeams pelt us
through the window, slow cooking,
making hearts tender

#haiku #poem #poetry #spring

shoes still stained with salt,
do I wish for thunderstorms
to wash it away?

dust settles
a Spring cleaning is
in order

#haiku #spring #poetry

snow melts before long.
it reaches the ground, puddles
we step over them

#haiku #poem #poetry #spring

an earthworm flounders
on the dry driveway pavement,
fleeing flooded soil

#haiku #poem #spring

thanks!

driving window-down
hair tousled by the current
spring rains on the way

#haiku #poetry #spring

two muppets are talking to each other in front of a bookshelf and the words headlikeanorange are on the bottom ALT: two muppets are talking to each other in front of a bookshelf and the words headlikeanorange are on the bottom

you bet it’s a dump, these STINK

Ash Wednesday arrives,
what do I choose to give up?
what thaws out my heart?

#haiku #poetry #spring

sun obscured by fog,
lingering snow can only
imagine its warmth

#haiku #poem #spring

deep fog sits
on frozen river
each, boundless

#haiku #poetsky #winter

glittering frost
covers the entirety
of the van

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter

the window
makes me too warm
outside, snow

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter

deceptively
the ground invites treading
slick with sleet

#haiku #poem #poetry #winter

spring draws ever near
what song will the birds still sing
when the stage is set?
