Early Spring Haiku

Close, but no cigar! Here is my mirror-metaphor and it looks like I was combing the clouds and not the wind after all. Interesting, the two metaphors, anyway. Here it is . . . with a few of it's friends of similar subject.


Leaves not yet opened
Trees thin fingers comb the sky
Carding April clouds


In a shock of spring
Yellow forsythia blaze
Bright against the snow


Grey April branches
Strung with drops of diamond rain
Bare with dreams of green

The mirror metaphors emerging here are delightful but it is the image of grey April branches strung with a diamond necklace of raindrops that really caught my eye.
