under a blue winter sky
remnants of a nest

Saturday Haiku: Acorns Emerging

 

acorns emerging
foretell days of abundance
when shadows lengthen

Note: Some haiku come quickly, and some come after rewrites. This week's haiku came after four previous attempts (and you can see from the picture, I started thinking about this one when the acorns were green). Here are the ones that came before. You can judge whether I settled on the right one:

acorns on the branch
foretell days of abundance
as sunlight recedes
 
green branch with acorns
foretells days of abundance
when leaves are falling
 
green branch with acorns
foreshadowing abundance
in days when leaves fall
  
acorns emerging
foretell days of abundance
as sunlight recedes

Saturday Haiku: Oak Buds

  

dark oak buds swelling
under opaque milk-white skies –
soon boughs will be green

Saturday Haiku: Spring Gold

 

in early spring
the oak awakens
with fleeting gold
