open gate to spring,
throw out the sunflower seeds,
grey pigeons hover
grey pigeons hover
muddy stones and barren wells,
winter frost melting
winter frost melting
locked windows and bolted doors,
open gate to spring

Love your gate opening to spring...new beginnings
ReplyDeleteI loved your take! 'open gate to spring' - beautiful.. I read your comment and I wish you are completing the challenge.. :-)

ReplyDeleteyou're doing an amazing job with the haiku challenge, some really nice pieces. I like the full circle aspect and the notions of gates as you depict here, especially in the way you surrounded the image of these gates with elements from nature, the mud, the seeds, the frost- great job.
ReplyDeleteI, too, am impressed by the way you have "circled round" this theme. I am also appreciative of the positive note of your circling. Thank you for an uplifting (and not a mind-numbing) read!
