haiku - Spring sounds

blackbird sings –
morning mist lifts from
city streets.

**********************************
reggae music pours
from wide open windows –
sunflowers bloom.

********************************
kilted bagpiper
skirls a tune for the tourists –
pigeons take flight.

*******************************
gardens buzz with
Spring’s first lawnmowers –
the scent of cut grass.

Spring sounds for One Deep Breath

  15. Sunflowers blooming to reggae just felt right, but I want to live where bagpipes herald spring. That is a very different spring sound.

    They are all lovely, I didn't think of music coming from indoors, and certainly not about bag pipers in the street. That would be wonderful!

    When you visited my site, you said you didn't know the mockingbird, here is a photo and clip. I added to my post today.

    I love to discover new words. 'skirls' is a good one. Thanks. Nice humorous finish.

    wide open windows so capture the essence of warmer weather...the muffled sounds of winter are sharper. reggae is perfect...an invitation to summer! all the little things that give the sense and scents of the season are in your haiku (not sure how to pluralise this!)

  23. wonderful vignettes. All but the bagpiper could have been my own neighborhood (I would only have to change blackbird to mockingbird and reggae to norteno).
