Upon thinking about this week’s Haiku Horizon Challenge–Week 49–Prompt: Play , the weather inspired me to write this Haiku as it seems Spring is playing around with Winter here in our part of the country. The last few days we have had unseasonably warm weather in Portland, Oregon. The temps have been in the mid sixties and the air has had a springtime feel to it. The higher elevations are receiving even warmer weather! The temps have been 68-70 degrees near Mt. Hood! We know it’s too early for Winter to leave us but it seems Spring is trying to come back early! I am definitely not complaining! 🙂
That’s nice Leona, we keep getting flurries of snow here, and I just can’t wait for spring to arrive. Love the haiku! 🙂
Thanks Amanda. I sure do hope the weather stays mild here until Spring.
A beautiful haiku. I love the picture it brings to mind. 🙂
Thanks Sue. I can thankfully say it was a real life experience. 🙂 The weather here has been so beautiful and I did indeed really hear the meadowlark singing in the meadow next to my home and my neighbor’s wind chimes were playing a beautiful melody in the soft breeze. Thus my Haiku was inspired. 🙂 Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Yes. There have been “unseasonable” days in January from time-to-time in Portland. They are a welcome respite. Lovely poem.
Thanks Alice! I am enjoying them:) warm and no rain :). Appreciate your visit and comment. Hope your California weather is nice as well
It’s lovely here. But the “sunny weather” talk I hear from friends and family up there makes me home sick. Enjoy it.:-)
Well, here too but the Temps have been 32..which feels like spring because by night it’s 9…oh my bones are complaining…
nice haiku.
Melody of windchimes, beauty of spring… lovely words at play 🙂
My take on the prompt – Perfection plays…
