One of my favorite seasonal transitions in the pacific northwest is the one from spring to summer. When I lived in southern California, spring was so short. We started talking about summer well before the solstice.
But here in the northwest, a spring day might start with gray and drizzly skies before giving way to high puffy clouds in the afternoon. It's a time to enjoy and live in the moment.
Here are a few quick Hiaku to describe what I see.
BOOM ranted thunder
Light'ning sizzled in reply
Spring conversations
Wind lashes the limbs
Tree leans precipitously
Resisting time's ebb
Green...a simple word
Yet does it encompass all
My window reveals
Frolicsome squirrel
Bushy tail'd cheeky rascal
Sunning on a stump
Fluffy, big, and bold
Rhododendron bush blossoms
I love large flowers
