Sensational sunshine
Pulls me outside
Garden shoes on
Cool dirt turns in my hands
Planting new life
This is the year
My garden will survive
Forgetful days
Cacti pricking
Up from the garden bed
While I sleep in
Carpe Diem #144, Yuki no hate (end of snow)
Ah, spring weather and garden shoes! I love the cacti garden... it's too wet here, but we grow moss really well! Happy Hump Day!
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of the arrival of Spring!
ReplyDeleteLovely elements of all three!
ReplyDeleteHere's to your warm days in the garden forgetting everything else :)
ReplyDeleteOh the garden. when it wakes up it will be lovely, Well captured
ReplyDeletealoha Jennifer - the first line of your first ku here has an interesting twist to it. as i see it "snow days" are usually days off when we are free to go outside if we wish. the end of those days makes me think i'll be working. i like the line. i think there is a lot that can be explored with it. fun. aloha.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard for me to sleep in when spring arrives. Too much excitement in the air!

I could feel the soil in my hands as I read your second verse. :)
