Haiku Touch of Spring



the melting winter
waters sleeping daffodils
spring rocks the cradle

 robin melody
nature sings the song of spring
winter breathes a sigh

- 0 -


 lilacs tease the air
with their delicate perfume
the bouquet of spring

Very nice!

My only quibble, because I am no fun whatsoever, is that your lilac haiku lacked a cut or juxtaposition (to my biased eyes).

Your delicate verses perfectly evoke the implacable spring!
