Frog kingdom silence,
Swollen marsh gently ripples,
April snow flying.

Patience frays
veiled feelings exposed
truth comes out.

Frozen mantle frays
secret dormant life awakes
nourished by spring light.

These three haiku are inspired by recent days in a Northern spring (44.3° N). The second and third incorporate prompt words from Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge #91: ‘fray’ & ‘veiled’ (secret=veiled). Please follow the link if you have the urge to read more haiku or to write your own haiku poetry.

Great Haiku Janice suggesting perhaps Spring is coming slowly?

Very very slowly — we’ve had snow ‘showers’ for the last two days. This morning it’s rain.

Love that first line of first poem–great title for something, too!

A horror movie perhaps? (Not horror from snow but something frightening enough to render the frogs silent) I always think of marshes as frog kingdoms or cities–so much sound rises out of them–I imagine thousands of frogs going about their lives.
