Magical blossoms
create glorious carpet
then vanish quickly

Haiku: Spring
By California suburban standards, our house sits on a very large lot. It's about a half-acre. There is no grass -- at least that isn't wild -- and there is no rhyme or reason to the hilly lot. It is filled with trees and ivy and wildflowers and wild grasses. Oh, and plenty of poison oak. It is gorgeous, and we love our "tree house" in the woods. There is one dogwood tree which blooms magnificently yet ever so briefly each year. This is how I know it is spring.

You have beautifully captured spring's ephemeral beauty. I love it!
Writing in Faith: Poems
excellent moment, well done.
Lovely poem... Your description of your yard is wonderful and captures your joy in its beauty.
Sounds like the perfect place to raise kids. Our lot is boring and the only carpet that we have is one of pine needles and/or dandelions. Both I could do without.
Almost a peek-a-booh feel to the image. Nice.
A lovely description of your garden and I love the magic carpet of blossoms, what a beauty that one must be.
dogwoods are like heaven...
It's a shame those blossoms feel a need to disappear so quickly. (I wouldn't know poison oak if it bit me: is it awful like poison ivy?)
Lovely words and imagery! I'm a little envious...:)
Love the image of blossoms creating a carpet!
Oh, I almost wrote about dogwood this week, too! isn't it just one of the prettiest signs of spring? I have lived at the edge of the Ozarks in Oklahoma, where it blooms wild in the spring.
Lovely poem and very special to me this week.
Creating a carpet..a great visual!
reverently renewed
See please here
Here in Missouri that is one of the sure signs of spring also. Before the leafs come out, the forests are flooded with white dogwoods. i really like the imagery, spring does vanish so quickly!
just gorgeous!!! it perfectly captures the all-too-fleeting beauty of spring's peak. i do love those blossom showers in a spring breeze
