Thursday Haiku - Spring

Troll chose Spring as the theme for this week’s haiku and, for me, that has to mean bulbs.

Back at the house, I was an avid bulb planter and in future years I intend to put my mark upon the grassy patch beneath Ruf’s windows too.

I just love the delicate colours, stalwart harbingers of the promise of warmer weather… and the fact that, after the initial effort of placing the bulb in the ground and covering it over, it comes back year after year with no additional input :)

The first shooting bulbs:
Snowdrops, crocuses or the
Yellow narcissi

Stalwart harbingers
Signifying warmth to come
The future beckons
