Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
Hi,
It feels like it must be springtime in your area for the beautiful blossoms and chirping seem to fit the season well.
A clever Haiku cleverly written and beautifully presented.
Blessings

This haiku, Life, presented with a 5-7-5 formatting, finds the spring season in full tilt with both blossoming flora and beckoning birds. Nice.

It's wonderful to hear the sounds of spring again. See the flowers blooming. Our pink dogwood was in full blossom yesterday like it knew exactly what day it was. Your poem is well-written, very descriptive and your artwork is gorgeous.

In a word, beautiful. As the seasons change winter to spring, new life does begin. From droughts to flooding rains the earth still remains. Baby birds twitter in the nests as blossoms bloom - new hope surrounds man. How wonderful is our God. K XX

Comment from June Sargent
We do hear the exuberance of spring these days - expecially the drilling of a woodpecker in our neighbor's yard. He competes with the chirping of the other birds! It's a happy sound - after the long winter. I enjoyed your haiku.

Hi Pam. Thank you so very much for the wonderful thoughts on this Haiku. I am so eager for the branches to fully open and for the baby birds to sing. :)

You are very welcome, Melissa. It is nice to hear the birds singing and chirping. The little ones are always so cute.

Comment from judiverse
Such lovely blossoms in the picture. It does give you a lift to hear that chirping sound. I listen for it when I go out to get the paper in the morning, and it's great to hear. The blossoms are another sign of spring.
Exuberance is an excellent word to describe the new life that blossoms with spring. judi

Comment from Mark D. R.
Melissa,
So you are very capable of writing short poems too (-;
Of course, I favor this format almost exclusively. Creating an effective Haiku a la the Japanese style with its cutting line, satori, is always a challenge (for me!).
I like the image you paint in the first two lines. The concluding line is OK and describes another part of the Spring vision you envisioned. However, I was hoping for more 'snap, crackle, and pop' for it.
I am uninspired to suggest an alternative, but you may rethink the ending. It is not entered in a contest, so you are free to make changes if you so choose.
Hope you find the Golden Egg tomorrow. If you don't look, you can't find. The same applies to a lottery ticket. You aren't in the game unless you buy one!

Hello Mark. I struggled with this one and also feel the satori is weak. I will think on it and see if I can think of a better one. Thanks so much, my friend.
