“Desire for spring not very logical maybe this early in 2016, because we are still in the middle of winter (on the Northern Hemisphere), but on the other hand I can fully understand this “desire for spring”. I am longing for spring already, after the dark period of the year I am anxious to see how nature will come alive again. I love winter, but the last decades we haven’t had really winter in my country all as a result of the global warming I think. Right at this moment it’s however close to zero degrees Celsius outside … and the weather forecast talks about snow. I hope we will get a little winter here in The Netherlands …

Jane gives a few examples of haiku for “desire for spring” I have chosen two of them. Both are giving words to desire for spring:

eaves dripping
the candle flame
flickers

 

winter days
a heart runs without panting
to the beach

after the darkness
I am longing for the young leaves
and cherry blossoms 

 

the blooming cherries
watching them in the moonlight
it’s magical
