The Spring season’s chilled breath holds back the inevitable procession toward summer. I button my over shirt until the sun makes its intention known and coaxes me to strip that layer. Even the robin fluffs itself as it bops in the thickening grasses rewarded with tender newly awakened worms. This moment of ‘just right’ fills me. I wouldn’t mind elongating this period to put off the advent of dog days.
Green is my season
Relishing the temperate
Sublime revival

Acceptance of Spring and it’s place in the progression toward Summer.
I love Spring. Summer? Not so much. Thanks!
I agree. There’s nothing worse than “The Dog Days” of Summer. Spring is the best time of the year. 🌞🌼🌸💜🦋
👍😊
Gawd! I hate the heat! Thanks. Glad to know we’re alike in that way too!
You can’t escape the heat! Well I can’t. No AC. Plus the air is fresher in Spring. 😊
Forget sunbathing!!!! UGH! 😎🙄
Do you have my poetry site addy?
I’m thinking of writing more poetry

Thanks VERY much. I’ll check it out.
ok I’m writing a haiku for Ronovan
Ah, I resonate with this. I prefer the in-between of spring and summer. Not so much summer itself. Very well-written and expressed.
Thank-you, fellow Springtime lover. 😀
I really like the description of “chilled breath” holding back summer.
Appreciate that. Chilly is my favorite place. 😀
Spring has been unsettled with the temperature changes. I look forward to summer days. I liked the image of the fluffed robins.
It’s beautiful that we have different weather ‘tastes’. Summer needs love too. Thanks!
Our “Dog Days” up here on Vermont’s Canadian border are those in which we put away our parkas and go around wearing nothing but flannel.
Can’t wait!!
Cool Haibun.
😀 Going North is something I’ve had my sights on for years. Save a spot ’round that campfire for me. 😉
You conveyed that so well in your haibun, Susan!

Thank you David. That was my feelings encapsulated. Glad your felt it.
I love the opening phrase, Susan, the ‘Spring season’s chilled breath’, which describes this morning in a nutshell! I also love the image of the robin, a familiar visitor to my garden too. And I agree, I wouldn’t mind elongating spring – I’m definitely not looking forward to dog days.
High five! Spring is darn near perfect for me. Thanks for commenting, Kim.
I like the stretch of spring and how it seems just sublime this in-between season.
Extending it would make me happy! Thanks.
😀
Ahhh, the loveliness that is spring with it’s on again, off again jacket inspiring weather. I love it, too. Well done, Susan!
Much appreciated, Dale. Thanks!
🙂
Gorgeous piece of haibun, the haiku at the end really captures the wonders of spring. Thank you for a delightful read
Thank you for commenting! Glad you liked it!
Isn;t spring a wonderful time fo the year! Very good haibun! Love the haiku!
Oh yes! Tillers of soil especially appreciate its magic. 😉
Yes!
Your haibun brought a smile to my face … green is my season too. Well done, well done.
😁👊 Thank-you.
Spring is my favorite season, even though the dog days of summer aren’t so exhausting up in the far north were we live.
That’s wonderful. There are far worse places than New England, U.S.A. for dog days but they’re never welcomed just the same. 😀
What a fabulous ending reflection! Love the imagery. 🌳
Many thanks! I feared that the tongue-in-cheek humor might obscure my message in the Haiku. Glad for your perspective.
