Haiku: The First Day Of Spring…
“Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems.” Rainer Maria Rilke
Haiku: The First Day Of Spring… cherry blossoms fill the air
A shift in the winds
Cherry blossoms fill the air
The first day of spring
Today is Thursday March 20th, the first, official day of spring! The buds start to peak through; crocuses, forget-me-nots, blossoming cherry trees herald the awakening of a new day. Spring has sprung and we can set aside winter wear, listen to some Mamba and dance in the yard. Soon, we’ll see now vegetation and floral life everywhere. Are you excited? What are your plans?
“Life stands before me like an eternal spring with new and brilliant clothes.” Carl Friedrich Gauss
Haiku: The First Day Of Spring… lighting equinox
The equinox calls
Balancing night with daylight
Our Hearts fluttering
Did you know the equinox brings in spring; created by a balance… So take a moment to inhale the fresh air and enjoy the changing season and weather. I hope you enjoy the haiku shared. How did you celebrate the first day of spring? Happy Spring Haiku to all!

I can’t see any sign of spring here in my area yet but glad that Spring have started already.
Hello, Spring. I am ready for it to come this year. As much as I love winter, I love all the promises that spring offers. There is still snow on the ground at my house, but I know the tulips will start popping through the ground soon.
Lovely photographs and I like the Neruda quote very much. Happy Spring!
Such pretty pictures! I like Spring, but Spring does not like me. My allergies are killing me today. Country and classic rock were played in my house as a kid. I wouldn’t say it had much of an effect on me as I like all types of music, those included.
Lovely Haiku. You have a talent. Thank you for sharing with us. The pictures are beautiful and I so look forward to spring and no more snow! Peace
Beautiful pictures and beautiful words! This is always my favorite time of year, even tho it’s suppose to hit the 80’s already here in our part of Utah! Enjoy!
Beautiful pictures! It is finally getting Spring time.
I think cherry blossoms are absolutely gorgeous. I am so happy that spring is here, and cannot wait for us to get rid of all this snow.
I am so happy spring is here!! It has been a long harsh winter! those cherry blossoms are beautiful! I’d love one in my garden!
Lovely! For someone like me who live all her life in a tropical country with only two seasons (dry and wet lol), I can only imagine how spectacular spring is
I think this is my favourite time
i wish to experience spring someday…who knows! beautiful pictures!
I love spring. tis the time when flowers are at their peak and you get to enjoy the different colors and scents they emit.
Beautiful pictures and I too am glad that spring is here!
Spring is in the air…nice Haiku
Lovely haiku, Elizabeth. Enjoy the Spring 🙂
very beautiful and love the photos
Gorgeous pictures. How dumb am I? The first day of Spring sprung right past me. :/
Spring is still up in the air here, it snowed a bit yesterday! I am definitely ready to see the beauty and smell those cherry blossoms!
Beautiful haiku and photos to accompany it! I was admiring cherry blossoms on the first day of spring, we’re lucky to have them around here.
Spring has returned here ( UK ) and, as always, I’m enjoying every bud of it. I don’t know if you’ve read my book or not ( out on Amazon ) but I’d love to know your thoughts. Sorry to be cheeky 🙁
I think Japan has already started cherry blossoms. I want to visit that place and witness the sakura.
I’ve loved seeing photos of pretty flowers everywhere. Here in the Philippines though, summer has officially started and it is soooo hoooooot!
Those forget me nots are so beautiful. Spring is one of the magnificent work of God – how awesome his creations are.
In my part of the globe, we only have summer and rainy season. With climate change, there a blurred lines between the two. Social media have made understand the anticipation of spring. Friends who live in America would lament on Facebook about temperatures during Winter and the allergen sin Spring. 😀
I’m glad that it is spring. We are having very weird weather in this part of the world.. I love seeing lots of flowers everywhere now.
Lovely flowers! It’s so refreshing to see those and accompanied with poetic caption. It has blessed my soul. It’s summer in the Philippines, but some flowers are in bloom too. =)
We had our own stereos so it was our music in our house growing up.
What beautiful photos of flowers! They make me want to go to our subdivision’s playground and take some photos, too. It’s summer here, but I hope I get to experience the four seasons!
It’s also hanami season in Japan where sakuras are in full bloom. I wish I could witness these lovely creations in the future and experience how awesome they are! 🙂
Spring must be your favorite season, those are very lovely blooms! 🙂
I am so glad spring is here. I think it is the best time of the year with the weather getting warmer, the birds, frogs and other animals chirping, croaking and moving about again and the flowers and trees growing and budding out. Its really nice and today we got up to about 76 degrees so it was a nice day too.
We are in Colorado, and our spring JUST arrived! It was just snowing less than 2 weeks ago!
It is finally starting to feel like spring here today.I can’t wait to get out and start planting my garden. I love when the weather turns warm.
Oh such a pretty picture. I truly love cherry blossoms. So pretty after a long winter!
Oh how I wish it was really spring here. Mother’s day and we are expecting snow >_<. I do love the haiku though. They have always fascinated me as a style because of how much can be said with such brevity. Enjoy your spring! 🙂
I love the simple style of Haiku. One can say so much with brevity.
I went to the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC this spring. 🙂
Glad for the maker of this poem…really spring..
