    i can’t imagine what would happen if the rivers ever stopped running. Fresh and clean is what spring brings. Nicely done!

    Nice imagery. Spring can lurk as much as it wants.

    love the way your haiku does that little turn in the second line, old giving in to new

    I love this, Eugi! “Lurking” is a cool word to attach to spring, like it is hiding, just waiting to make its move. Wonderful
