At work yesterday, the constant, wailing wind spread white blossoms past our windows in a parody of winter snow, prompting this seasonal haiku.

This, that and the other thing 
Simply beautiful, Janet!
Thanks very much, Lucile. I’m happy you liked it.
You’re welcome, Janet.
Touchingly sentimental and strongly visual.
Good morning, Sally, and thanks. Today while walking, I saw a few tiny snow flakes. I ignored them and concentrated on not blowing away. 🙂

Beautiful, Janet. Perfect imagery.
And take heart: my azaleas are bursting forth into a riot of color even as we speak.
Good morning, Sandra. Blossoms are popping up all over, but the wind is still with us today and the temperature is more like winter than spring. But that IS part of spring, so I’ll just enjoy the visual beauty while keeping warm. 🙂
You’re up fairly close to Chicago, aren’t you? If so, I’m probably about 400 miles south of you. Our temps have been cooler than last week, but still pleasant enough. Of course, I generally have my white azaleas blooming a second and third time — once in October and once in December. Although they don’t bloom all over the bushes at those times — just hear and there.
Yes, we’re in the Chicago metropolitan area, although not in the city itself. Those 400 miles make all the difference. 🙂
Nice. Two strong images in opposition. Well done! I like it a lot.
I’m glad, Janet. That means a lot.
I took a picture of the petals spread across our lawn this morning after a late night windstorm. 🙂
I bet that was a beautiful shot, Lisa.

Beautiful haiku–lovely imagery!
From someone who writes haiku so well, that comment is very much appreciated, Jan.
