Haiku Day 28, National Poetry Month

Welcome to Poetry Friday hosted by Ruth at her blog There is No Such Thing as a God Forsaken Town. Thank you, Ruth for hosting!

April, otherwise know as National Poetry Month is winding down and I’m sharing my day 28 haiku. It was inspired by a tree I saw showing off its new leaves in a breeze. The video is too short, but the breeze shows how light and playful these new bright green leaves are. Look around. Leaves of all shapes and sizes are dancing in the wind. 

Round or like a fan?
Arrow-head, heart or spoon shaped?
Psst--leaves are calling.

    I love the delicate greens of this time of year. And yes, those leaves are definitely dancing!

  7. Delightful! I can imagine a dress-up box of arrowheads and spoons and round objects that the leaves are all playing with. Happy spring to you!
