A Year in Haiku

JANUARY
Delightful display
Of snowdrops bowing white heads
To the sun’s glory.

FEBRUARY
Green buds now appear
Indicating spring will soon
Energise us all.

MARCH
Lambs gambol in fields
Frisky with the joys of life
Bleating happily.

APRIL
Bluebells standing proud
Beneath trees now sparsely dressed
With freshest green leaves.

MAY
Much awaited sound
Echoes through forest and copse -
Cuckoo’s arrival.

JUNE
Parks and gardens burst
With sounds and vibrant colours
Perfect harmony.

JULY
Beaches become full
Of families having fun
In sand and big waves.

AUGUST
Ripe golden harvest
Burning sun in azure skies
Labours rewarded.

SEPTEMBER
Swallows congregate
On telephone wires ready
To migrate down south.

OCTOBER
Red and gold leaves fall,
Crunchy as cornflakes beneath
Feet on a crisp morn.

NOVEMBER
Frosty webs sparkle
In the early morning sun
Brightly bejewelled.

DECEMBER
First few flakes of snow
Dust gardens like icing on
A chocolate cake.

This was amazing. I was going to choose my favourites but they were all so good, but if I had to November and December would be the ones I'd choose. Recommending.... Pat
