NaPoWriMo 2019, Day 25

Today's prompt is to write a poem that relate to one season, engages all five senses, and asks a rhetorical question.  I came up with this haiku sequence.

Spring Haiku Sequence

Basho's frog goes splash!
Birds and lawnmowers all day.
Spring peepers at dusk.

Ahh, inhale deeply!
Grass, new flowers, rain washed air,
and... eww! Manure!

Juicy tomatoes,
fresh blueberries from the field,
and Marshmallow Peeps!

Newly empowered
dandelions push their way
up through the sidewalk.


Will it be warm? Cold?
In April, who can be sure?
Who knows how to dress? - Jeff Barnes
