wow that paints quite a picture, the last wind doing its last destructive act, taking away the tentative beauty and hope of spring that was that first daffodil. I feel power here, destruction, wreaking of vengeance, almost like the losers last petulant, rebellious act. Poor daffodil.

Again another fantastic haiku. A few weeks ago all the flowers and trees starting blooming but they were fooled by the warm weather and thought Spring was here, when winter was just in disguise -she unveiled her mask and frosted over the pretty blooms, encasing them in a crystalline cold death.
And now they won't bloom anymore till next year

Nice one, son. A reversal of a more classic image of the last of summer's beauty in the teeth of winter. Been trying to condense an image of my own of something similar in my neuk of Scotland, when a blizzard fell on the emergent daffodills.

Quite a contrast with the new photo ku from Don. He had probably better weather than what we were treatened last days. Since haiku is not intended to be proverbial (although people easely make these feelings out of it)it is often a sad image after a storm in spring or late winter.
For Bills2 daffodils easely overcome that late freezing state but broken stays broken. -
Excellent
Hi Andrew:
It seems that each year, when everything gets put out and ready for Spring, a cold sets in. Even if only for a night, it brings temperatures down to freeze things and force them to regourp and start again. Excellent piece. Bill -
Oh wow, this brought back memories of when the trees all snapped from the icicles. whew! that was scary more than pretty. This haiku is awesome, keep up the good work!
