@Algot

Curved edges bending
inward, the leaf as a cup
collecting raindrops

#SmallPoems #SundayHaiku response (on the matter of leaves)

@Algot

The wild's been waiting
for this sun, the day's begun
to blossom madly

#SmallPoems #SundayHaiku response

(everything is now growing like gangbusters after days of rain and slumber)

@Algot

On a dreary day
of drizzle, fog and grey clouds,
hunker down with books

#SmallPoems #SundayHaiku response

@Algot

On a budding branch,
a red cardinal alights
in a sea of green

#SmallPoems #SundayHaiku response

(We were away overseas for the vacation week, and oh, how much can change so quickly -- the green is arriving here and birds are singing everywhere)

@Algot

Hail, then, to the plants
which weather winter storms and
wait to be reborn

#SmallPoems #SundayHaiku response

@Algot

If every raindrop
were a run, batted by clouds,
cheers would be allowed

#SmallPoems #SundayHaiku response

@Algot

A voice in the din;
this is where we can begin
to hold back the tide

#SmallPoems #SundayHaiku response

@Algot

Oh, little green buds,
you wake too soon – this winter
still has miles to go

#SmallPoems #SundayHaiku response

We have snow and ice coming tomorrow but some flower buds are starting to show in the sunny corners of the yard

@Algot

All bits and pieces
of trees, scattered on the lawn;
small shadows at dawn

#SmallPoems #SundayHaiku response

Wind was nasty here, too, and walking the dog before daylight has meant stepping over branches. (lots of little ones) I did some clean-up this morning and now our fire-pit wood pile is HUGE.
