    forsythia is probably my favorite of all the first signs of spring, but they leave too soon! I like the image and and message conveyed by this haiku, but just feel maybe the last line--(keeping to your five-syllable count) might read better as "to welcome the spring."

    other than that, a really good haiku and I wish you much luck in the contest!
