spring in the south

A few days off to think and regenerate, to refill the creative well, and share an early spring haiku with you...

this is the magic of the southern spring...soft seasons, flowers suddenly thrusting through the ground and reaching gladly for the sky like enthusiastic children excited to be alive.

      Strangely enough, it makes me miss California, the land of two seasons, wet and dry.

    It's so strange how it seems like winter never came to middle TN. Your haiku captures it so well, Cathy. :-)

    Cath!! I think this is one of my very favorite haiku you have ever posted!! It made me so excited for spring. Not that we've really experienced much of a winter around here this year.

      Right after I posted this I saw something on the weather station about the artic air going farther north this year, which means people up north are taking a beating, and we are enjoying a milder winter. Lucky us! :D Glad you liked my little offering Beckey. xo
