Wet Snow

snow laden branches
swaying in early spring breeze
drizzle of wet snow

A translation of Basho’s  ‘old pond’ haiku

Inspired by

The old pond
A frog jumps in-
The sound of the water
– Basho

Falling water
Resonates through the mountains
Frog’s shadow
-Chèvrefeuille (our host )

Snowy Spring

snowy spring day
shower of melting snow
spring in the wind

Carpe Diem Haiku

Rumblings of Spring

fluffy snow
lolling on branches at dawn
dripping away by noon
rumblings of spring

Bitterness

Photo credit: Google Images

For a young child, the first sip was usually followed by spitting it out, crying, and running away. It was extremely bitter. As a child parents, grandparents and elders in general tried to get it in you or on you. On you is usually on your skin as cure for some crazy rash. In you, to cure some GI related malady. Plus ,it gave you great skin from the inside out.

Spring!!??

These were this morning. ..in Brooklyn, New York

 

Then by this afternoon came the big drip along with the first sign of spring, a step in time in my garden!!! These escaped  the squirrel’s rampage in the fall…
