Delightful display
Snowdrops bow their pure white heads
To the sun's glory.

I like Haikus and I like this one very much. It goes to prove that just a few well-chosen words can say more effectively than pages full. I love the comparison of cornflakes to dead leaves...
The chill, worming in
Shock, pleasure, bursting within
Summer tongue awakes
This haiku just makes me want to close my eyes and picture in my head a beautiful flower garden, swaying in the cool breeze on a hot summer day. It also gives me the chills!

Fresh spring morning time.
That's the sound of solitude,
the presence of peace.
I LOVE this poem! It feels good because I can relate!
It makes me feel the chill in autumn, which I have experienced only in literature. .
This describes a high quality ripe peach exactly, and the deliciousness of a really sweet, succulent taste explosion, and the rapture of it all !
Spring brings happiness
Flowers, songbirds, and green grass.
God's love on display.
Winter fights to stay.
Sweet Spring always wins her way.
Flowers bloomed today!
Warm fall afternoons,
crisp cool eves with harvest moons,
crickets singing tunes,
I'm so happy you enjoyed "Hello Autumn." It has always been my favorite season of the year. I had to think of a way to sum it up completely for a Haiku style poem and this is what I came up...
Bees nudged the flowers
Babies peeped out of the nest
One fine crisp morning.
