Azaleas in my front yard
Sunday night it rained all night. And I slept poorly between the gutters clanking and my storm-scared dog barking. But when I drove home from school on Monday afteroon, the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and the azaleas were bright all over town. I think this calls for a spring haiku.
Azaleas popping
sun-drenched pinkness bounces on
green bushy balloons.

Reflections on the Teche 
It is cold and rainy here with sputters of snow…so your post has brought much needed color and light to my day. Jackie http://familytrove.blogspot.com/
A wonderful time for a haiku. Thanks for the spring thoughts and picture. Indiana is still in cold mold.
I love “the gutters clanking and my storm-scared dog barking”. We have really strong winds here and that’s what it sounds like all night long. Ugh. But nothing is as gorgeous as a spring bloom. Great picture!
Popping, bounces, balloons. Spring indeed! 🙂
Love the imagery of “…sun-drenched pinkness …” Spring is in the air, thank goodness!
