as I walk through the woods –
the first leaves open.
*************************
under my nails
and in the lines of my hands –
life giving soil.

white stone driveway
between neatly cut hedges –
one muddy footprint.
Earth, soil, mud for One Deep Breath
These poems, I can feel your call to Spring. The longing and yearning for green growth and the rich scent of life.
ReplyDeleteOh, I really liked the second one! It just brings back nice memories...
ReplyDeleteThese are fanatastic! #1 & 3 really resonated with me. Great haiku.
ReplyDeleteCGP,
ReplyDeleteThese are great. The first piece really grabs me. I like the explicit inclusion of the narrator.
wonderful spring feeling to these!
ReplyDeletelove them all.
"life giving soil" is a wonderful vision on your hands. Lovely earth/mud haiku.
ReplyDeleteThese haiku are all wonderful, but I really like the visual in the third one.
ReplyDeleteThese all have a very natural rhythm and "earthy" feel...lovely!

I really enjoyed all three, but this one has a bit of smile in it. Only one footprint? :-)
Juliet,
ReplyDeleteI like all three!
The third is most striking, like an Ansel Adams photo.

I smiled when I read these - among others reasons because you notice the things I notice! :)
ReplyDeleteThree fine 'out and about' poems. I agree, they do all have a spring feeling.
ReplyDeleteI loved the first one! It brings me back home.
ReplyDeleteI really like the images your poems bring to my mind, a muddy footprint, and boots caked with mud.
ReplyDeleteI am walking in the muddy woods too!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful - so evocative.
