Haiku...Spring
gentle rains fall
hungry earth awaits
feed your children
fresh leaves light green
push forth their pleas
heirs to this new seed
vivid color makes rainbows
crossing empty azure sky
life repeats once more

gentle rains fall
hungry earth awaits
feed your children
fresh leaves light green
push forth their pleas
heirs to this new seed
vivid color makes rainbows
crossing empty azure sky
life repeats once more

I like the image of life repeating. And of rain feeding the earth's children. This makes my day. Thanks.

As always Sandy, I thank you for your wonderful site(even if I can't add OSI picture to my side bar- just too stupid.lol) and for your very kind comment

I like these, they are full of colour and movement.
Beautifully captures the changing season and the reawakening of earth. Well done!

Like Sandy, I like the idea of the rain feeding earth's children and I also particularly like "heirs to this new seed." Lovely.
I love all three of them. They gave me such a sense of calm. Thank you.
Beautiful imagery! "Feed your children." Priceless line to sum up spring's purpose.
Melanie, those are beautiful. Show each aspect of wakening earth!
reverently renewed
Very beautiful,excellent moments.

I like how this also fits in the circle theme of last week.
beautiful images of spring....
Your words are like paint, painting a beautiful image.
I love the idea of cycles and circles in this (combining both themes!). It is beautiful.
I love the idea of the earth hungry yet waiting to feed the children. Really nice.
Beautifully rendered, and I agree that the cycles and circles are combined so artfully. Great work!
The image of a hungry earth lingers. I think of baby birds, waiting in a nest for mum to return with some food. And those ever open mouths! Plus squawks!
Lovely write!
