GREETINGS SPRINGSun is warming, water is flowing,
Birds are singing, kine are lowing,
Buds are swelling, greenness growing,
Greetings spring, farewell snowing.
The list seems endless, as do farewells,
Farewells to winter and snow’s repeat.
Often spring encore is followed by more,
More farewells to winter and snow’s repeat.
As tempo quickens and life gets sweet,
Spring’s advances outreach retreat.
Relentless progress ensures defeat.
Farewell to winter and snow’s repeat.

Here it is summer, back with a vengeance!
washed by words
The tempo of this poem reinforces the joy of the words that create a very beautiful image of change and renewal.
This poem is hopeful and joyful...it makes me smile on this cold, dreary day! Beautiful photograph, too... :~)
I am more than happy to say farewell to Winter and open the door to Spring.
Very nice take on the prompt and on seasonal changes.
I like the changing of the seasons and I also like the Quotes you have here.
Everything is blooming and leafing out here in the South. Thanks for reminding me to take a look at winter's farewell.
the last verse is my favorite. like how it all comes together.
Cold, gray day with snow layered ground, this one begs me to shout 'farewell, farewell' to winter.
Thank goodness Spring is on the way! "Often...encore is followed by more"- This was nice with the perfect picture.
Lovely, my dear. Usually rhymed words do not fit Haiku but this does just that very nicely. Well done.
love-bd
Great shot. I really like the reflection in the water too. Must be nice to actually see the changing of the seasons.
