first flowers









sketches of some of the little things springing up in the garden. Crocus, Iris reticulata, Jonquils.



spring's first dawn
coloured by petals
newly opened

refreshed
by first pick Earl Grey
spring treat

even in wartime
we watch flowers bloom
grasp at straws

Simply beautiful watercolors! I love the sketchy ink and color combination and it suits your poem so well. I also like the third poem -gives food for thought.

"Jonquils"---the name my grandmother used for daffodils, and the name (really!) of my oldest cousin.

Beautiful artwork, and maybe your strongest set - each haiku very well crafted and thoughtful. The last one really powerful I must say
