Today I join my fellow bloggers in "serving up a slice"
for hosting this meeting place each day in March
Knowing that many are overtired of winter
I'm hesitant to share this haiku,
but we feel cheated this year . . .

November's flutter
One tiny whiff of winter
Squashed by shouting spring
These pictures are beautiful.I would hate for you to feel cheated. I will gladly contact UPS and send you some snow, ice, and single digit temperatures.

Something tells me a lot of folks feel the same way. You make me laugh!
DeleteIt's already so beautiful there! Blow those warm winds east, please!
ReplyDeleteYou speak for many of us, Ramona. We do feel cheated. Today was a balmy 31 degrees and my adult son was considering shorts. Come on, Spring!
ReplyDeleteDarn the luck, to be squashed by spring and only a whiff of winter. Want to trade places next year?
ReplyDeleteI will take shouting spring any day! Love the words "whiff of winter."
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I have to admit that I am quite anxious to look out my window and see those signs of spring. Patience! Patience, I guess.
ReplyDeleteShouting spring! Spring is shouting in my head and my nose...allergies. This is the part of spring that I despise. The photos are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh, let Spring shout! Love this, Ramona.
ReplyDeleteGreat haiku, and the budding trees are gorgeous. I can see tulips sprouting in my flowerbeds. Exciting!
ReplyDeleteWhiff of winter...shouting spring...great word choices! Makes the haiku say so much.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful those blossoms are! I understand feeling cheated - I always want snow, and then I am delighted when spring comes. But at heart, I'm a 4-season kind of girl.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I love your pictures. I will trade places with you. Right. Now.
ReplyDeleteI love the alliteration. Whiff of winter! Shouting spring! Lovely! And gorgeous photographs! Trying to remember where you live that it's already soooo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm on the west coast, Seattle area.
DeleteThank you for the haiku! I lived in Japan for two years and studied haiku, so I loved coming across this post. Spring can be loud and obnoxious, for sure. After all, "April is the cruelest month."WW Erin
ReplyDeleteDon't know how I missed you today. I'm writing new curriculum and am crazed with the job! This is gorgeous, Ramona-love that you can say you've had a 'whiff of winter', & then those gorgeous trees-can't wait!
