a chilly morning
bright yellow blossoms beckon —
come closer and dance
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Hyacinths
fragrance of Easter —
memories of grandparents
and fancy dresses
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Neighbors
ancient gnarled vines
make room for their new neighbors
who boldly stake claim
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Majestic
majestic statesman
observing with intention
missteps and fanfares
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Comedy
bold and outrageous
part plant, part Seuss creation
nature’s comedy
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Cookies
too pretty to eat
but too delicious not to —
I only ate one
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Daffodils
happiest flower
color of sunshine and spring —
how can you not smile?
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Design
art deco patterns
as modern today as then —
beauty in design
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Reflection
one year reflection —
a bit scuffed up, but stronger
many lessons learned
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Upward
in search of the sun
tenacious and courageous
the bulbs push upward
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Concord Women
women of Concord —
we are a resilient bunch
with big shoes to fill
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Simple, Not Easy
it is what it is
haiku a day for one year
simple, not easy
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Emerge
it has been a year
of isolation and change
time to re-emerge
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Masks
just one year ago
masks weren’t a fashion statement —
now a collection
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Budding
frigid arctic blast
buds mock remnants of winter —
confident in spring
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Low Tide
a low tide reveals
hidden landscapes of the sea
rearranged each day
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Welcome to the World
pandemic present
newest granddaughter arrives
bright light in the world
#HaikuChallenge21 -- One Year Ago
Just one year ago
learned the word Covid-19 —
changed us forever
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Green Velvet
moss has awakened
bricks lined with bright green velvet
farewell to winter
#HaikuChallenge21 -- Juxtaposition
snow covers the ground
spring blooms on the windowsill
juxtaposition
