Haiku - The Spring Collection
59
George Harrison wrote, ‘Here comes the sun’ at Eric Clapton's Hurtwood Edge House in the UK. This meant a lot more to me when I came to live in the United Kingdom. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the grey winter that seems to permeate the British culture.But I know that I will never tire of the wonderful excitement that stretches for a while, providing colourful bright promise - Spring. Little darling, it's been a long, cold, lonely winter.
as the weather turns
snowdrops the promise of spring
in february
the promise of spring
flowers colouring the path
towards a new day
overwhelming joy
colours and light evoking
spring is on the way
this concept called time
it sneaks up in a minute
as your life ticks by
clouds surround my heart
seasons come and pass on by
empty without you
awakening world
beautiful twilight shadows
early morning treat
many years gone by
seems like only yesterday
a long time ago
the turtle dove sings
good morning good morning Russ
I rise happily
cows in the butter
amongst yellow in the field
the season’s flowers
petals silky white
you flower in my morning
sunshine in my night
his mind is now calm
yellow orange marigolds
he has walked through peace
Russ - Delightful, I must say. One of the nicest Haiku's I have seen yet and the pictures are absolutely breathtaking. Very nicely done.

Howzit Tony, thank you. I get really motivated when the days get longer. One of the things that keeps me sane during the grey time(this sounds crazy), is that I fly to places like Glasgow, Belfast, Manchester etc. on business and am always comforted as soon as we get above the clouds - the sun is always shining and the sky is always blue.Go well my friend. Love, Russ
Hi Sage, I appreciate you dropping in and especially for your supportive comments. Thank you!
Beautiful poetic imagery complimented by well-chosen stills that relate perfectly with the words...A Victorian critic, Bagehot, has said that poetry should be brief, memorable, intense, and soon over...Haiku does exactly this, and you, my talented friend, are its master...My favorite:
" petals silky white
you flower in my morning
sunshine in my night ".
What a lovely thought to take to bed at night...Thank you, Larry
Absolutely marvelous.
Thanks.
Hi Larry my friend, thank you! Go well.
Thanks Vladimir, your remark sounds so very British.

Ah, Russ! What a beautiful collection of Haiku and pix. Spring is a wonderful time of year in most parts of the world, I think. The promise of a new beginning, "flowers colouring the path." So beautiful, my friend. And we are just about to get into autumn here.
Thanks so much for brightening up my evening as I prepare for bed.
Love and peace
Tony
