Poem: Spring Haiku 3-18-20
This batch of poems is spillover from the March 17, 2020 Poetry Fishbowl. They were inspired and sponsored by Shirley Barrette -- whose response to receiving them was "My heart is singing." :D This batch is the first of five seasonal sets of haiku based on my favorite kigo page. Continue with the summer, autumn, and winter batches.

brushes it away

even the west wind

are everywhere now

genge
vetch on the hillsides,
like a message from Gifu --
a springtime idyll
* * *
tanpopo
dandelions bloom --
children run through fields, playing
their little hand-drums
* * *
tsukushi
on the long walk home,
beside an abandoned plot:
there -- horsetails to eat!
* * *
sakurasoo
primrose in gardens --
young ladies lean together --
cherry blossom grass
* * *
warabi
in the shady woods,
picking fiddleheads today --
for supper, salad
* * *
seri
along the creeks, girls
gather water dropwort as
gifts for old women
* * *
shunran
pampered in gardens,
spring orchids run wild in woods --
oh, the irony!
* * *
yomogi
gathering mugwort
to prepare the sweet rice cakes
for the ancestors
* * *
tsubana
at the water's edge,
the reed ears open -- the seeds
whisper and listen
* * *
mikusa ou
waterweeds grow at
the edge of the rice paddies --
food, everywhere, food
* * *
ashi no tsuno
by the pond, reed sprouts
toss their horns like restless calves
as they rush the wind
* * *
wakame
after the storm goes,
people gather seaweed on
the beach for salad
* * *
nori
seaweed dried and made
into sheets to wrap sushi --
the sea's green obi
* * * * *
