Hear the spring bird's call The promise of season's change. Warmth is on the way.

The world is cloaked in white, Lit by the glorious sun. Spring is thus postponed.
It is almost impossibly beautiful today, after the danger and trouble caused for many by our storm yesterday it seems to be a tough trade-off.

It's forty degrees! Driving, with car windows down, Pretending it's spring.

Nini, There was something in your last haiku that brought a tear to my eye. There are those major moments in the life of a mother that show us our children anew, no longer the kid but the adult they have come to be. Thank you.
Six deer in a row Silently move through the woods Beauty among us.

Aw, thanks, Susan! You know, over the past month, I've been privileged to watch him simply bloom. What a joy! But I do miss my l'il boy sometimes. :)
Three more on the way - Storms and inches - what the hey? Snow, please go away!

Nini - I have read that one important part about writing a good haiku is invoking a strong feeling in a small amount of syllables. You did that above when you wrote about your son. I love it.

Thank you, Jeannie! :) I think whenever we write from the heart, it's a beautiful thing!
Yesterday was warm, Today we’re expecting snow And now, I have chills.
