‘Walk out in the sun’ and other spring haiku
By Jim Bates
Walk out in the sun
Bend down to smell a flower
Joy of being alive.
Warm bright sun shining
New plants turning toward the light
Happily growing.
Supermoon rising
Eastern sky glowing dreamlike
Lunar light sublime.
Distant thunder rolls
Kettle-drum pounding prelude
Symphony of rain.
