rippling grass
wind moves up the hill
light waves
the gentlest of caresses
a shimmer of emerald light
forgotten brook
running the centuries down
locked in rock
an enigma of nature
sparkling secret in the dark
floating clouds
down from the mountain
a puddle of rain
nectar for a thirsty frog
bass baritone of love songs
white pussy willows
above a muddy swollen river
fat raindrops
dripping a percussive patter
through branches dotted with buds
flute melodies
across green ocean waves
spring meadows
a thrush’s trill sweeps away
last cobwebs of wintry days
beach diamonds
a new day crystallized
in sunny surf foam
the ebb and flow of seasons
waving goodbye and hello

My response to Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #78 Renga With Jane Reichhold: Springtime
This weekend we have been invited to create a renga with Jane Reichhold, using six haiku by Jane chosen from the spring section from her modern saijiki, A Dictionary of Haiku.
Always, Fabulous scenes, Kim! (@—>—) (@—>—)
