Heads held high
Facing the elements
The trumpeters
Narcissists
Endure cold, snow, wind, rain
Marching into Spring

Waiting for the wind
To fulfill my only purpose
Patiently I stand still

Winter just keeps showing up overnight and leaves us with traces of snow to wake up to. Poor blooming plants are not appreciating the nighttime visits. Thankfully it melts quickly at morning light.

A gardener named Rosy
Often dreamed to mosey
Down an isle strewn in petals
But she wasn’t a gal who settles
For just one posy

Morning snowflakes falling

Haiku Horizons Weekly Challenge Week#208 Prompt: Vanish
Our Pacific Northwest has been enjoying an unseasonably mild February this year causing flowers to bloom early and folks to feel as though Spring has come. However this morning Winter decided to let us all know that it was still hanging around by sending us a flurry of big heavy wet snowflakes. causing our lovely early bloomers to get covered in white. Thankfully the snow didn’t last long and the sun came out to melt it all away.

Alone in the world
Smile and kind word bring new life
Moon chases darkness

Tearful eyes speaking
“Goodbye my Camellia
Fairest flower of red.
Before us you were wisked
Away by a thief,
A mischievious marauder
Living in a tree
Near your fragrant scarlet blooms.
His greed became your demise.”
Choka
I just saw that pesky gray Squirrel who is a frequent visitor to my yard snatch a beautiful red blossom off my new Camilla plant I just bought!
As I watched, frozen in horror, he scurried up the tree to sit on a branch munching on it for his mid morning snack.
