That first one strikes me as an especially good one because of its simplicity on the surface. I read through it and nod, "yes, yes, I see that," and then the image comes into my mind just as the snow melting reveals that flower.
I can't get my head going on this prompt yet. I hope it will come to me.
Juliet, This is really scary; Just before I clicked to your page I thought to myself, "I think Juliet will describe crocus." I liked the promise foretold in both your haiku. rel

A lovely haiku palette
ReplyDeleteI love haikus and specially your colour haikus. I can see the blue sky and the crokus.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!

Ooooo, I love them both! The last one spoke to me particularly well, though. The green carpet, I think.
ReplyDeleteYou paint a colorful carpet here. Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat is a celandine?
Juliet,

stars falling on a carpet; what an interesting thought!
ReplyDeleteThose crocus sure are hopeful!
ReplyDeleteI loved both hiakus!
lovely, especially the first one!
ReplyDeleteI really love the first one. So simple and so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spring images!
ReplyDeleteA perfect picture of the colors of spring.
ReplyDeleteLovely~ as always!
...this was very nice. You painted a perfect picture with your Haiku's.
ReplyDeleteI can see the colors of your haiku. Lovely, as usual.
ReplyDeleteI love the surprise of the crocus. Every year it's like the first time I've ever seen them.
ReplyDeleteFor me the strength of these is in the contrast you create of one colour among another. Very visual.
ReplyDeleteSo vibrant!
ReplyDeleteYour haiku speaks so much of the promise of spring. I especially love the vision of fallen stars.
ReplyDeleteNice images of spring to come; I like the "fallen stars in a carpet..."
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your comments.
ReplyDeleteBrian (and anyone else who's wondering) a celandine is a small yellow star like flower that comes out in Scotland usually at the end of February.
Remiman, that's funny, I was writing about crocuses even before i saw the prompt...
These are really lovely!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Haiku! I could picture them both in my mind, and they are very colorful.
ReplyDeletei love the imagery of the second one. pieces of stars falling onto green carpet. nicely done.
ReplyDeletethese haiku are truly a work of art...just incredible!
ReplyDeleteyou captured spring in a handful of words...i can almost smell it
ReplyDeleteMakes me long for spring. No crocus here yet. Not even snowdrops.
