Spring

HAIKU FOR SPRING

new green shoots-
the afternoon sun
warming my muse

more rain
ducks explore a new pond
of connecting puddles

church graveyard-
wild violets growing
between stones

a dandelion
growing between bricks-
the quiet dusk

wild violets growing

des violettes sauvages poussent
entre les pierres

Is il a good translation ?
