The Four Seasons
by INGRID de KLERCK
I
amidst melting snow
flowers bud, days grow longer
foals and cubs are born
II
air, buzzing with life
bright tapestry of colors
adorns sun-drenched land
III
haze-covered meadows,
leaves change to orange and red
squirrels collect nuts
IV
snow enfolds hushed fields,
whilst animals hibernate
icicles sparkle
*A String Haiku is a series of Haiku’s that form a unity because of the theme.
