Today is smiling,
No longer shy over bare
Shoulders of branches.
We are awash with
A froth of blossom, giddy
With fertility.
Greens are glossier,
Windows give back more blue, and
Hearts burden us less
We squint into kind
Brightness, ease shoulders against
The sun’s warm caress,
Grin to feel Spring’s fingers tug
Our hair, quaff drafts of cool air
For those of you interested in such things, I've combined three haiku/ senryū as verses, with a final tanka.
