The same rules as before, a 5-7-5 syllable count including something to do with Spring and the following Haiku starting on the last word of the previous one. Did anyone archive the previous threads? I didn't with the Winter one and all the posts seem to have disappeared... :| Suppose I have to start then! --- The seeds March upwards towards the sunny Spring skies. New life will blossom. ---

Wow, that haiku was even a real haiku with all the mentions of the season! ;) Good idea! Nothing better than a spring haiku! Let's see... Please listen clearly For the ides are approaching Beware betrayal!

Just incase you don't receive your IM (I hardly ever notice them), your Haiku should have started with the word 'blossom'. Re-read my post and it should make sense, I aren't the greatest at explaining things...

Oh woops.. LOL I was the one that started the previous haiku challenge too. I should have known better. Ahem.. let me try that again! Blossom now springing From what once seemed dead and lost Renew the season

New to this, but I'll try, so here is a few. Blossom family fun Creativity pastel In dance drew springtime Blossom of spring comes Defeat the thorns of winter Light perfume so sweet

sweet warmth of spring time tingles my senses gently surrounded by green

Green grass, warm spring breeze Blowing through the renewed blades A setting serene.

Serene air fliers Glide between dewy grass blades Dandelion seeds.

Thank you.Then I shall. :^) Perhaps you can answer a question for me?I have a short poem I've written,and I would welcome opinions/suggestions regarding it.Is that done here,in this forum?If so,does one post it as a new thread? I apologise for bringing up something OT here,but I didn't think my question worthy of starting a whole thread about it... Thank you again,for welcoming me and for your time. Marlene :^)

One small step for trees, One giant leap for sparrows. Well, their young at least. --- Hello Marlene, some people do post their writing in this forum. You could also try the Writing Gallery and ask for feedback there.

Thanks TheAlex.I would think the writer's gallery was more for finished pieces...so it helps to know that there are those who also post WIPs. Least?Hmmm.... Least of all the bee Awakes and shakes the slumber From his frozen wings.

wings stretching anew savoring warmth of the air soon spring into flight

flight of the sparrows
is heard in the trees
waking me to the morn Hope I did this right lol

Lovely lines,SndCastie...and I'm hardly the one to correct you...but they're supposed to be 5-7-5. :^(

LOL sorry first time

Flight of the sparrows wings are heard in the trees this day waking me to the morn hows that

Another beautiful one... You're almost there.This one is 6-7-6 :^(

Is that words in line because first one is five words second one is 7 words third one is 5 words.

If not I don't get it sorry all the others don't have 5-7-5

Oh okay...It's the syllables...you have to count the 'beats' in the line.It's not the number of words. I'm sure you can do it,the lines you submitted so far are lovely... :^)

LOL well I am not good a syllables

OK how's this flight of the sparrows is heard in the trees above wake me in the morn

Ding!Ding!Ding!You got it!Very nice,too! :^) Morn...when golden rays Kiss awake the sleeping earth How warm her sweet embrace!

Embrace the spring scent
for flowers are in the air

time, essential thief, sapping life at colder clime replenish in Spring :)

Spring of my childhood When I was green as the field And basked in the sun.

Sun glistens longer longer and longer because spring is here to stay

Stay oh sweet sweet spring! Fill me with your warmth,your hope Make me new again.

again the ground anews the buds in fragrent blossoms the smell fills the air

Air sweeps past the bloom Carrying her soft perfume Like wine for the soul.

Not sure I like that one,lol. :^/

soul soothing perfume on the wind it is hanging like a long sweet breath

Breath of sweet softness Kisses on a gentle breeze Whispering of love.

love calls you softly entering on soft breezes beckoning forward

forward on to all summer is but a step more so enjoy the way

Way into my soul The soft caress of sunshine Stirs the sleeping heart.

heart of the dawn sky burst forth with your warming light spring season is here

Here is the moment To drink in all it's glory Let it fill your soul.

Soul of Mother Earth does blossom with much ado so take a moment

moment to reflect the new earth stirs underfoot seedlings reach skyward

Skywards do they grow
the flowers that come and go
lingering scents hang

Hang up all your cares Tomorrow will be diff'rent The promise of spring.

Spring enters softly A ray of light in darkness Promise of new life.

Life...the gift she brings Like the eyes of a newborn Dear and sweet and pure.

Pure green - verdant field Float gently in grasses deep Seed upon the wind. ------ This is way too much fun. 8']

wind russeling in trees
brings thoughts of gentle breezes
lets go among the grass Yea but my spelling could use some help LOL

Wind touching my skin
With soft unseen caresses
So gentle,so sweet.

Actually I like this as the last line...

And plays with my hair.

But it seemed less spring-like,lol.And 'hair' would certainly be a strange beginning word for the next one! ;^)
