"SPRING HAIKU"

No ice on the lake
Seagulls fly in cloudless sky
Spring is in the air

Soap bubble flying
Children laughing as they play
Gentle blowing winds

"SUMMER HAIKU"
` ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~`
Warm Day of Sunshine
Fishermen on the boardwalk
Smell the salty air
` ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~`
Waves lapping on shore
Sun bathers lay on warm sand
Footprints in the sand

"FALL HAIKU"
` ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~`
An orange leaf falls
Dancing in a whirling wind
Beginning of fall

The fall wind dances
Orange and brown leaves falling
Beauty of the day

"WINTER HAIKU"
` ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~`
Sun has disappeared
Days are shortened with white snow
Gray shadows on hills
` ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~`
Falling snow all day
Delight to children at play
Mr Snowman smiles
