Spring Haiku

Throughout 2024 I saved the haikus I posted on X and Instagram with a view to compiling a poetry book at the end of the year. After some deliberation I decided to have the book printed for personal use only. I named the book "A Haiku for all Seasons" and gave it to close family members as a Christmas gift. It was a special moment.

To mark the start of each season in 2025 I have decided to post the corresponding poems and photographs taken from the book, here on my blog. I had some lovely feedback about the winter poems posted earlier in the year. 

Now that daffodils are in full bloom and blossom is appearing on the trees, it seems like the perfect time to post the spring poems. I hope you will enjoy reading.

Bursts of daffodils

Sunshine voices calling out

Spring is almost here.

Like birds in a nest

Crocuses open their hearts

Sing in harmony.

Unfurling blossom

Drenched in beads of morning dew

And April wishes.

Robins and blackbirds

Garden campanologists

Softly ring white bells.

Miniature vineyard

Oozing with grape hyacinths

Springtime Pinot noir.

Magical rainbow

A little piece of heaven

Stretching down to earth.

When I close my eyes

The magic of bluebell wood

Lingers in my mind.

Loud, proud, flamboyant

The tulip gang are in town

You'd better watch out!

Elegant iris

I see golden butterflies

Running through your veins.

Tumbling over walls

Flowers the texture of silk

Joyful clematis.

I wish I could watch

You chase feathers in the grass

Hear you purr again.

You sting with your leaves

Enchant with your coy blue smile

Exude mixed feelings.
