    Hood Winked!!

    I do enjoy the peace and calm a seasonal haiku generates. Spring the season of renewals. Beautifully crafted. . Thank you for the pleasure of this moment.

    Ah, this is beautiful!!
    After I read your author notes I thought of the song
    " Just Breathe "..by Faith Hill
    Very stunning indeed!

    wonderful goddess of love and
    beauty ~our "mother earth"
    oh well done my friend ,,in my
    rambling opinion ..
    "breathe out Life's perfume"

    lovely dreams
    tender soft blue horizons
    beyond our vision
    in path of noble deeds
    as slumbering souls trembled
    in shivering gust of dawn
    mother earth smiles
    colours of rainbows

    You are right, M! It should be 'breathe'...Thanks, I forgot my leaves & fronds were plural

    Super

    This is lovely, and it is just how it feels to me!
    I'm wondering if you mean breathes or the plural?

    yeah and the smell after a spring rain. That is my favorite. Fortunately here in Western Oregon we have green on green all year with the exception of a brief period in Late August and September.
    Wonderful, you make me want to go out and wander about...

    Nothing as rejuvenating as green on green. Without green, souls would not be able to shed its carbon ... and its fragrance ...

    Yes, "Ma" is short for your handle. "Ma'atkara" supplies too many chances for typos. Don't worry, it's not one of those things like Ronald Reagan calling Nancy "Mother"...lol.
