Sounds of Spring -ODB

Spring rain

rainfall drums softly
against buds green and still
gently waking

***

Morning geese

twig cracks under foot
startled chorus leaps into air
the thunder of wings

'gently waking' has prompted a series of thoughts about how dangerous it could be to launch straight from winter into summer, much as I'd like to be sunbathing through March, I suppose the gradual change, the gentle way is a better way to wake the seasons.

I love these, they are both so descriptive.

The second one made me chuckle.

i love the first haiku, as i love rain in the spring and summer. and the contrasts in the second are very strong.

I love the atmosphere in the first one, spring rain is somehow so soothing.
