Haikus— ‘Changes’
step back little life
faces change though streets remain
cross with no regrets
spring’s hushed voice in trees
snow lingers on in furrows
earth unbends to light

A dreamy feeling of isolation as I viewed the photo and read the poem.

Beautiful! I’m sure you noticed when you visited my blog, but I adore haiku and write it with abandon. Lovely accompaniment to your photo. Margie

Hi,
The changing of the seasons, very nicely done. 🙂
We are coming into Autumn here which starts on the 1st March, and that will be the end of our summer.

Hi, thank you for your comments. Well, am I right in saying that at least your winters aren’t as ‘bad’ as ours in England?

You are spot on there. In the part of Australia that I live in we don’t get snow, it is classed as being part of the tropics. 🙂
There are parts of Australia that do get snow of course. If looking at a map these are around the bottom part of OZ, (still nothing like England) I live more towards the top end of OZ. 😀

“Spring’s hushed voice in trees”–this is so very accurate and touches my earth-mother heart! I also though there was a lot of truth-telling contained in that capsule of a stree-crossing haiku!
