Buds of trees in spring Arrive ahead of schedule To a cold greeting
Buds of trees in spring Arrive ahead of schedule To a cold greeting
Spring wind felling trees Chimney reverberating Like an empty jug
Temperatures rising Birds chirping for the first time Weight has been lifted
Balloon drifts away Getting smaller on its rise To oblivion
Slowly melting snow Overstaying its welcome Ushered out by rain
Cloudy spring morning All along the riverfront Remnants of ice sheets
Hidden thunderstorm Spring dust floating high above On a long journey
Tranquil fog settles Obscuring certain objects Narrowing focus
Flying geese return Congregating by the lake In warmer weather
Slightly sunburnt skin Hopes for early spring shattered By a light snowfall
