vernal equinox
pollen proliferation
spring rebirth affirmed
busy bees buzzing
beautiful birds building nests
winter gloom erased
dormant seeds take root
blossoms bloom birdsong elates
spring nearing its end
summer solstice comes
verdant landscape sandy beach
families frolic
short summer showers
heat and humidity reign
sunlight lingers on
temperatures lag
cheerful chirping of crickets
last gasp of summer
autumn equinox
turning leaves migrating birds
early morning chill
leaf peeping pastime
harvest cornucopia
real time falls behind
fall’s first killing frost
season of melancholy
cold of winter near
winter solstice comes
bare trees long hibernation
don’t risk bleeding lips
gardens lie fallow
field mice attempting entry
long dark frigid nights
snowfall slowly melts
winter giving way to spring
first mosquito bite
6/3/2018 - Poetry form: Haiku - I decided to write a series of haiku (3 haiku per season) chronicling the "Cycle of Seasons." When it came time to post, I thought it might be too busy having all 12 in one poem, so I created 4 poems to represent each season. Now I've included all 12 haiku in one poem, as I originally intended and now prefer. So now you know the method to my madness :)
