Spring Haiku by Ms. Hutchinson

Tiny unfurled bud of an apple tree blossom such perfect promise

Chorus frogs’ chanting startled to silence by one human footfall

Robins hop about with small pumpkins on their breasts and one simple goal

Under tangled branches of winter’s brutal fallout three-leaf clover

Two golfers stroll down the awakening fairway like oversized geese

Scampering squirrels strike “Flight of the Bumblebee” on my head’s piano

A cardinal chimes from high atop an oak branch red berry on blue plate

Golden rays fill the sky but the wind’s nip still whispers of January
