Vibrant emerald
Shoots forth, rising, stretching, free
Springs to new life, grass!


Humidity hangs
Stifling, searing, glorious
Swimming pool relief!


Tree colors ablaze
Leaf fires, pungent, sweet smoke
Too close, teary eyes!


Frosty, crisp, cold air
Ice crystals, winters web spun
On my windshield form!


(my humble response to the Haiku challenge)

Hey, liked these.  And they certainly met the haiku form better than mine.  But I didn't know then what I know now!

Dennis~
These are wonderful moments you've captured.
I caution ... they are addicting !  

I like green, green grass
Too soon it's time for mowing
Grass grows overnight

Night aglow with light
Moon walks hand in hand with stars
Across Milky Way

I loved all of your amazing haikus!  My favourite is

vibrant emerald
shoots forth, rising, stretching, free
springs to new life, grass!

Excellent imagery and a great way of bringing grass to life for us!  Wow, Dennis, you really have a talent for haikus!

Take care,
Melissa Honeybee
