Today is the first day of spring, blown in by a warm and gusty norโwesterly wind, as if to say, โTake that, winter! Your time is over.โ Here are five haiku inspired by the day.
Ngฤ koru
Swirls of yellow pollen
ripple in winterโs
vanishing puddles.
Te rฤ
Sunshine filters through
branches still winter-bare.
Wind rattles a welcome.
Kฤkฤriki
Bright against dark soil,
leaves unfurl and
quest toward the sun.
Ngฤ puaka
Heads nod to the breezeโ
frills of yellow, white, purpleโ
decked out in Sundayโs best.
Mahi mฤra
Cracked nails underlined with dirt. Hands pressed to the Earthโs heartbeat.
