Spring?

Spiral Birds and Blooms: 2nd Chiyogami Series

Spiral Birds and Blooms (Photo credit: so_jeo)

1.

Mid-March hesitates

Lion yawning, lamb awaits

Spring plays hide and seek.

2.

Precipitation

Mixed snow and rain, icy cold

Where is soft sweet spring?

3.

True bliss is patience

Icicles will drip and melt

Giving way to blooms.

    I’m so eager for Spring to arrive. These are wonderful and so perfect, as I look out my window at the rain and snow mix. 😦

      I am so ready for spring–no boots, heavy coats, mittens and gloves — you must be getting the same weather we are here–

        Actually today is like Haiku # 2. Crappy icy rain. I’m happy that one of us is getting some good stuff. 🙂

    Lovely Haiku. Spring is definitely playing hide and seek here. 🙂

    On my end of the world, spring seems to have become lost somewhere in the fight between winter and summer. There’s a full 20-degree difference between yesterday and today’s weather…. quite trying for those of us with minor allergies. I would give anything for a nice, mild spring.

      I know, sometimes around here (southwestern Ontario) we don’t get much of a spring, but get a full-blown summer–I like to ease into summer as I am not fond of hot and humid

        Our daffodils are insisting on being noticed already – as are the buds on the trees (despite me imploring them to hold off until it gets a little warmer)..

      Now all it has to do is show its face. It snowed, snowed, snowed last night and is still snowing this morning –It does look pretty though…………

    I have no patience today having just crossed the border back into Ontario. I hate snow and cold, and I want to go back to the beach :(. I know, I’m whining, but it’s sooo depressing!

      I feel for you — it is hard to come back from vacation–especially a warm one to the cold again

        Mother Nature hates me!! I woke up this morning, and it was snowing like crazy. She’s cruel LOL!

        then again, it made going to a warm place all the more worth it
