Eight Haiku for Spring

Demeter’s daughter
Winter captive of Hades
Returns with springtime

The sun is warming
Mother Earth will soon respond
With leaves and flowers

Spring is coming soon
A little bird sang it out
As I passed by him.

Baby red maple
shivered through the chill winter
now shows tiny leaves

There were daffodils
near the downtown parking lot
standing tall, budded.

Iris in the bud
I wait to see the color
As the bloom unfurls

The tall, sturdy stem
of the iris carries a
bud showing color

A low wall guarded
By a phalanx of iris
Purple-helmeted
