Just four days from spring!
Now is a good time for this
Weekend Assignment:
Weekend Assignment #51: Write a haiku about spring!
Haiku is three lines:
Five syllables, then seven
And then five again.
Haiku from Japan
Often concern the seasons.
Why shouldn't ours, too?
The Extra Credit:
A drawing or a picture
Showing spring in bloom!
Here in Canada, spring comes a little later than most of you are accustomed to. We have several heavy snowfalls yet to come, and the snow will probably not be gone for good until mid April where I am. Still, nature knows it's coming. The birds are singing, and there's a certain freshness in the air. The extra credit picture is the first tulip pushing up through the snow, one of my personal first signs of spring. Should be any day now.
thermometer speaks
same temp as it was last month
but it feels warmer
tulip pokes its nose
out through a blanket of snow
jump up, spring is here
There is one more spring haiku over here.

Hi Paul :)
Wonderful!
Always, Carly
I did one of these Haiku thingies somewhere else.
Will have another go...
Spring is in the air
Sunshine, blue sky, just perfect
Daffodils already? Nice!
OK, so it's pretty much the same as the last one!

Hmmmmm, it appears you are experiencing the same type of spring as I am. It snowed all day today. I like your tulip haiku. I wish I could grow flowers, but alas, I am restricted to dandilions and other low maintenance plants.
Loved the tulip 'ku and image! We're used to spring in March, but we're having a long winter along the midatlantic coast this year....

A picture is worth a thousand words, but that one leaves me speechless.
