haiku for relentless spring


the war goes on and
spring arrives the north of Earth
over all that’s gone


there’s green without doubt
spring has subsumed winter time
spring world for a while


USA times change
seasons over politics
is only green hope


pink and white the gift
Japan gave us cherry trees
Tidal Basin spring


climate change is heat
eighty degrees moderate
missing cool spring

[well, I wrote some haiku for spring; I should have selected one poem to post, but the theme of now it’s relentless spring rather got to me; as such, altogether there’s a good deal of repetition; yet I hope you find these appreciable and hopefully enjoyable]

[giving USA three syllables by the way we pronounce it]

[it probably doesn’t matter, but I mean the verb of “moderate”]
