    ARTS: Haiku prompt: APRIL

    Hello haiku writers!

    A challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to write a poem (or more than one) on the theme of April. You do not have to mention he month and instead use a season word that expresses a sense of April where you are right now.

    One from me:

    paddock gate
    horses graze around
    the edge of spring


    And an older one:

    Palm Sunday
    the slow procession
    of daffodils


    (published in Ephemerae 1A)

        sun's rage
        rainy trumpets soon drowning out
        his dry wit

                  Kokuu,

                  Here is my attempt.

                  flowers bloom
                  on trails of rolling green
                  snakes coil ready

                  Gassho,

                    A surprise!
                    Stars of white
                    And prickling berry vines
