Haiku Friday: The Garden
What are you looking forward to coming up this Spring? [Actually, it probably has already happened where you live, provided you don't live in Minnesota]
Here is mine:
A few gentle shoots
Red, set against the green leaves
The early vanguard.
Now, you go!

Something new out there,
I see it at the lawn's edge...
Oh, gross. It's dog poop.

Red eyes, buzzing wings,
Spring holds some fresh hell for us -
Cicada circus.

Spring winds swirled the sand
Still she looked for the swelling
Buds,bruised blue-purple.
The Green almost heart
Leaves,long brown fingers of branch.
She tried to recall
Blue vase of them placed
By her mother,Elsbeth, on
The sill,how the
Breeze lifted the fragrance
The Persian sensual sniff
Let loose, enveloping.
Now they were her choice:
Everything her mother liked.
The Lilacs' brief bloom.

Raspberries
He plowed them under
My father hated the proliferation
Of their thorny digits
Up from winter's grave.
But to us they meant red pies
Nectar sauced berries
Swelling lumps of bites
For mosquitoes loved their leaf
Lairs.We didn't care.Pie.

Hair in a swirlknot
In a skirt in the garden
She bit sunned tomato.
Everything that it
Contained sparkled,said red on
Her tongue.Eyes closed,joy.
