Spring Growt - haiku

Buds of Spring
dampened soil bursting
little faces of Spring growth
sheltered by God’s hand
- Rhoda Galgiani
Author's Note:
Japanese Haiku Poetry Form is non-rhymed in "traditional" syllable counts of 5, 7, 5 in 3 line stanzas. The subject is about nature and usually brings much imagery into the poem...rg

  4. Thanks Charlene - the Haiku is a great way for someone to start writing poetry. So expressive with just a few lines - one must remember though, the Haiku subject is always about Nature...rg
