Haiku: Signs of Spring...

"You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming." Pablo Neruda

Haiku: Signs of Spring...
 A winged friend returns
Shared gifts of cool breeze, spring flowers
Sadness vanishes...


Today, the words are Butterfly and Coming of Spring


What is Carpe DiemBlog Owner, Kristjaan Panneman,  describes it as:  "a weblog on haiku. It's a new daily haiku meme where you can write a classical or non-classical haiku on a given prompt. Haiku is an ancient Japanese poetry form. A haiku has three short lines and describes a short moment (as short as the sound of a pebble thrown into water). Mostly a haiku counts 5-7-5 syllables and is sometimes called 'counted verse.'"

“The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.” Rabindranath Tagore

Haiku: Signs of Spring...
Purple blooms poke through
Auguring a season shift
light, delicate air...

  6. I guess we can try to keep a lot of things from happening, but when it's meant to be, then it's meant to be.
