March--a good month for haiku

picking the buds
of the daffodils before
the grandchild does
~
pear-motif house flag
furls in the gentle March breeze~
green shoots through dead leaves
~
a sheepish March first
wood violets on the sill
with the Africans
~
the roadside's
dense blue patches
of Johnny-jump-ups
~
on each bare branch
of the beautyberry
a goldfinch
~
the coolish promise
of a starry March evening
our Friday night date
(idea- M. Masterson)
~
first time to sit out
this spring . . . cloud passing the sun
cools the westerly
