stripped of chlorophyll
vibrant colors reveal soul
I sit quietly
imposed expectations fall
creating space for new growth

left behind till spring
putting together pieces

snowy graves to blooming buds
wild geese preen feathers
stretching to accommodate
lost beauty concepts with new

    This is my favorite by a hair, Reena… But your whole series is lovely ❤

    Also, if you want to turn these into tanka per the prompt, rather than haiku, you only need add two lines to each of your haiku!

    Much love,
    David
