  5. Open your eyes it's spring

    Wow, that was a challenge Sam. I don't think I have ever written a Haiku, so there you go

    I am not much of a writer - I am an artist and I like to draw and paint - I love spring because it is such an inspiring time of year. The colours, sounds and smells evoke such fabulous emotions, it like the earth is waking up for the first time again, and everything is fresh and new.
    I follow your Facebook page and pop on over here every now and then cause I love your stuff.

  10. Sun shines, breeze whispers
    rain falls wet earth my garden
    bursts with new spring life.

  11. Sunshine and big bursts,
    of colour and fragrances,
    makes spring a delight!

    That's my poor attempt at haiku. Love the others!

    Cheers Tracy xo
