splashing in shallow puddles-
a glistening spring

Hood Winked!!
Your first attempt at haiku.... Congratulations on the Gold. I find a serenity in your lines contemplating nature and newness of spring. I like to ponder in thought lingering in the haiku moment. The peace of the sounds of raindrops and puddles a nice place to end my journey. Thank you for the pleasure

Beautiful haiku. Congrats on snagging the gold trophy in a contest with 150 entries. That in itself is a big statement about the poem.

I think this is a great haiku. A good haiku should paint a picture, and this does it very well. I can almost see this, and I love how you called it a "glistening spring" Great word choice, and great imagery throughout!!
Superb nature poem. Thanks for entering and letting me read this!
