Early Spring

oh, this wind!
it sweeps me past my gate
then spins me home

spring clean-up-
in the sweat of hard work
a settling peace

solid gray sky-
forsythia buds
for a blue vase

this one's my favourite

"spring clean-up-
in the sweat of hard work
a settling peace"

the haiku, not the activity :)

much love...

Adelaide said...

Thank you, Jill.
Today, and for the next couple of days, spring will be taking a step backwards. However, my forsythia buds are opening up inside.
