Taking Spring’s Pulse (excerpts from A Haiku Year)
12/03/06
blue vase droops red
tulips – they too are tired
of winter dragging on
***
20/03/06
Buddha buried to
his clay nipples in snow drifts
vernal equinox
***
28/03/06
rushing stream of
melt-water at sidewalk’s edge
perfect for stick races
***
18/04/06
red tailed hawks
scour the ditches, worn gaunt
by spring migration
***
19/04/06
along the highway
eagles grasp fence posts, intense
eyes count cars
***
22/04/06
trumpeter swans back
to mate, drift lazily on the
on the brown dugout
***
24/04/06
on southernmost edge
of sun-soaked hedge, one fat
ladybug basking
***
26/04/06
the pink buds of peony
push through winter debris
take spring’s pulse
***
30/04/06
first supper outside
robin’s lustful aria
a serenade
