At last

you are shedding the neutral grey and white,

wrapping yourself in a green gown,

sparkling with iridescent dew

tumbling like velvet

into a glassy pool

still ice cold,

quivering on the brink.

Hear the promise:

morning chorus, finches singing

their hopeful hearts to spring.

 

#haibun (I hope!) for #NaPoWriMo Day 12

I’ve never tried a haibun before.  I hope I’ve caught the sense of them.

    The iceman goeth, soon. We have one more frost headed our way, tonight, then Spring will finally have sprung. Looks like other haibuns I’ve seen, but I’m not exactly a Wordsworth or Shelly.
