Perfect spring images! I can't wait for it!
ReplyDeletethis was really nice. I like the haiku form and how you used it here, very nice connections of first and last lines. and aesthetically, the image, combined with the whitespace really is pleasing as well. Very nice job. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI like the verse about ripe plums. Good images and nice turn with the errant bee.
ReplyDeleteI love this! How each haiku is linked to the next and then the last one is linked back to the first in a circle. The images are simple and elegant, beautiful.
