A Year In Haiku Poem by Paul Holmes

JANUARY

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.
