By The Way...

Just four days from spring!
Now is a good time for this
Weekend Assignment:

Weekend Assignment #51: Write a haiku about spring!

Haiku is three lines:
Five syllables, then seven
And then five again.

Haiku from Japan
Often concern the seasons.
Why shouldn't ours, too?

The Extra Credit:
A drawing or a picture
Showing spring in bloom!

(The picture above
Is from Athena, of course,
Who is all about spring.)

My spring haiku:

After all the snow
It will be so very nice
To walk barefooted.

(Fact: in Italian
"Scalzi" translates as "barefoot."
What a great name, eh?)

And now, it's your turn:
Make haiku in your journal
Then leave a link here.

I can't wait to read
Your haiku celebration
Of the spring to come!

  Water on my head
  Drips from snow melting above
  Rooftop avalanche!

  Okay, late as usual on homework assignments, but I thought I'd give this one a shot anyway. Thanks, John. A little challenge, and a trip into the past well worth the travel time.

  hearing the birds sing
