Yellow iris bud
Spring’s perfection // standing tall
against green cedars
***
A candle glowing
Waiting for tomorrow’s warmth
Nature’s flame will shine

You’re so welcome, Dwight. True… mine haven’t bloomed this year which is perplexing.. Looks like one or 2 are trying to make their way💕

These have not bloomed for four or five years it seems. We got a lot of rain this winter and spring. Maybe that is what helped them come along.

Those irises are so gorgeous and glowing with colour, Dwight, which is reflected in your haiku. I love the yellow iris bud against green cedars. We are still waiting for the wild irises in our village to bloom.

I too have enjoyed candle glow the last few days; a bit of cheer against the backdrop of clouds and rain. But, as promised, today nature’s flame is shining bright, and it’s the grass, leaves, and flowers that are glowing. You can see why your second haiku drew me in! Thank you, Dwight, for expressing so beautifully what many of us experience throughout the spring.
