Haiku Welcoming Spring

Haiku Welcoming Spring

A Poem by Nancy Lee Shrader

Haiku: Welcoming Spring

Groundhog ventures out

He foretells an early spring

He sees no shadow

 

 

Spring is in the air

Green grass peeking through the snow

Flowers soon will bloom

 

 

 

Emerge from the den

Mother bear and her two cubs

Welcoming springtime

 

 

 

Winter snows ended

New flower shoots bursting forth

Spring has come to stay

 

 

 

Flower filled meadow

Butterflies and bees flutter

Spreading the pollen

 

 

Hummingbirds flitter

Wings rustling from bud to bud

Tasting sweet nectar

 

 

 

Bird’s construction straw

Works feverishly through the day

Laying eggs by night

 

 

 

Mother Robin sits

Nests filled with powder blue eggs

Soon new mouths to feed

 

 

 

Worms try hard to hide

Become food for the nestlings

Wide their gaping beaks

 

 

Nestling’s test their wings

Reluctantly leave the nest

Learning how to fly
