Delightful display
Of snowdrops bowing white heads
To the sun’s glory.

FEBRUARY

Green buds now appear
Indicating spring will soon
Energise us all.

MARCH

Lambs gambol in fields
Frisky with the joys of life
Bleating happily.

APRIL

Bluebells standing proud
Beneath trees now sparsely dressed
With freshest green leaves.

MAY

Much awaited sound
Echoes through forest and copse -
Cuckoo’s arrival.

JUNE

Parks and gardens burst
With sounds and vibrant colours
Perfect harmony.

JULY

Beaches become full
Of families having fun
In sand and big waves.

AUGUST

Ripe golden harvest
Burning sun in azure skies
Labours rewarded.

SEPTEMBER

Swallows congregate
On telephone wires ready
To migrate down south.

OCTOBER
Red and gold leaves fall,
Crunchy as cornflakes beneath
Feet on a crisp morn.

NOVEMBER

Frosty webs sparkle
In the early morning sun
Brightly bejewelled.

DECEMBER

First few flakes of snow
Dust gardens like icing on
A chocolate cake.

It didn't take as long to write as you may think.
About an hour. Only been writing Haikus for about a year, but find it a favourite form of poetry.
I regard them as snapshops of life, kind of 'photographs' of what I feel at that moment...There will be more to follow.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

hey just want to say thanks for your comment on one of my poems and also to say damn you lol, for something up with this poem. what a great idea to capture each season in a sort of mega haiku,
in fact its such a great idea that i feel i will just have to do my own, a great write here with each month easily imagined and just as fondly remembered,

keep it up!!
