haiku 39

 the earth awakens

from a bitter frost

i am giddy with delight

 

i almost squealed with delight when i found these bulbs coming up from the ground.  they are the first bulbs i've ever planted, and i wanted to shout, "they came back! they came back!"  i can't wait to see them bloom.  these are the daffodils.

and blue hyacinth.

and the first wee wildflowers of the season.  oh i hope to snag a macro lens this year!

haiku 1110

late fall blossoms
trimmed in winter white
sparkle on, summer, sparkle on

haiku 1109

dawn illuminates 
a harsh edged beauty
laced upon the frozen earth

haiku 1108

he painted the sky
with awe and wonder
his blessings are infinite

haiku 1029

polka dot party
shiny halloween candy
dancing on the walls

haiku 1021

frosted windowpanes
violently scraped away
by my denial

the weather has been in limbo here.  caught between late summer, fall, and early winter.  it's made me rather unmotivated to take pics for my october haiku challenge.  i finally decided to just write about how i really feel.  poppy talk is having a fall color challenge this week though, so maybe that will motivate me to take a few pretty pics.

haiku 326

tiny dotted dot
happiness dancing on red
spring is a party

haiku 324

winter sun morning skies
the day creeps closer 
across the horizon

haiku 309

from the still brown earth 
she boldly proclaims her truth
spring is come again

haiku 226

sweet is journey's end
when home is the final rest
winter's sun is brief

haiku 214

rose tinted skies
the fading sun smiles on us all
lovely valentine

haiku 124

bright happy faces
joyously dance in the light
cold depress-me-nots

haiku 123

serenely she lies
bathing in silent sunbeams
dirt does not becken

haiku 118

plump plumed friend 
perched outside my wintry windowpane
fat looks good on you

i'm a bit enamored with word usage.  specifically saying more with less.  haiku are so fun to me, but according to this article, slightly more complicated than i thought.  i'm not sure i got it right, but i enjoyed the process.
