Bring Spring – A Haiku Bouquet for a Brighter Day

(Written upon request of Mad Kane’s prompt on “yard” and “garden” and Haiku Friday.)

Bring Spring –
A Haiku Bouquet for a Brighter Day

Tugging twigs and thorns,
Digging in my garden beds –
Spring, come to my yard.

Frozen frosting melts;
Gloved fingers ache with cold.
Sun, come warm the earth.

Crunchy turf gives way,
Welcoming the brand-new growth.
Life, begin again.
