Elemental rain
Silver and titanium
wet liquid metal
Chlorophyll landscape
Terraces of verdant green
Lush jungle picnic
Yellow crocuses
Peeking up through wet green grass
Rising into spring
Happy rebirth-day!
Vernal candles peek through earth
Nature’s birthday cake
Manicured fir tree
Perfect cone-shaped silhouette
Gigantic bonsai
Diaphanous boughs
Festooned with cherry blossoms
In new light - shimmer
Butterfly lighting
Rainbow-coloured landing strip
Flower petal perch
Rosebud tightly closed
Unfurling in spring sun
Fresh pre-bouquet
Victoria spring
Grey rain gives way to sunshine
I’m still going home
GREEN APPLE HAIKU
Luscious green apple
It’s no wonder Eve succumbed
Temptress, Granny Smith!
