Haiku Friday: Spring
Traditional haiku often use nature themes, particularly those related to the change of seasons. This seems like a good week to embrace that, given that it is now Spring, a change of season most people look forward to.
Here in Cen-Tex, it's still relatively chilly, but the bluebonnets are out in force. Wherever you are, whatever your Spring is like, haiku it! Here is mine:
Rosebuds rise gently
Red enveloped in green hoods,
While thorns stand sentry.
Now it is your turn-- Five syllables for the first line, seven for the second, and five for the last line...

Chilly spring car seat
There is mist out there, pea soup
Will drive through to sun.

Hills alive with old
Steel and stok'd fires of the past.
Mist of winter rain.

Law re: Bluebonnets
Interesting indeed, ask
a Texas lawyer!
The answer (Per DPS) at link below. Although, please bear in mind that I don't believe a DPS press release is a defense to prosecution.

Spring awakens slow
From cocoon of long cold days
Sunrise different now.
Cherry blooms beckon;
Windows open, whoosh of rain
On avenue below.

Firefighter/ Reptile
Birthday Party is now a
memory. SCARY!
Exhausting: Twenty
Six kids, all sugared up and
bouncing off the walls.
Reptile Lady was
a hit. Two cakes, lizards in
ice cubes in punch bowl.
It was messy, so
nutty, wild. Spencer had a
blast. GREAT to be HOME.
I will know I am
truly home when I see my
tulips come up. Hope.
Some of them bloomed last
year, even thru the building
mess. Come back, tulips!!!!
