Dear Richard, I have no constructive advice to offer, only complimentary. Each season bestows its beauty upon us.How fortunate we are to grasp what we see, what we feel, and what we remember of each transition. Living in California has afforded me a glimpse of mountains in the spring, and breathless snow caps in the winter. I've seen the nesting of a mourning dove from early spring into fall, and the contrast of light and shade each season reveals. To capture that in poetic verse, is quite remarkable. Be it a Haiku or a sonnet. I love the traditional 5-7-5, no rhyme of the Haiku. It seems a most appropriate way to pay homage to Mother Nature. You are a joy to read, my friend. Truly.

Dear Kelly 🌾

No one touches me in the ways you do, more deeply or graciously sincere.

Thank you for still enjoying my humble verse … hugs! ⁓ Richard🖌

A very good haiku. --- but
"Not all seasons are
apparent in all places.
Gifts are lost to some." :)

Thank you, JE, for reading, the very nice compliment, and catchy Haiku review. 🍂

Assuming you mean the artwork lacks, I hope it's better for you now; and, if you mean not every places experiences all four seasons, you'll have to confer with others on that. ; )

Happiness to You through every season! ⁓ Richard 🍃

Nature gift its own release if we dare not alter the way its meant to operation. We would only enjoy these gifts of nature if we abide by its rule.

You're always an amazing writer Richard.

It does!! But, when will it find its Spring release in Wisconsin?? I really like this Haiku! I know this form can be quite tricky to do well. I am not surprised how uniquely you expressed the emerging Seasons… Nicely presented with the Japanese artwork 🎋

Ahhh, Susan 私の愛 🌸

Like equilibrium and water, Nature finds its own balance and level, according to its harmonious dance with elements of the universe … I just wish She could be more constant.
But, neither Universe or Nature confers in these matters with me … LOL!

Thank you, ever-so gratefully, for reading my humble effort, and for your gracious praise and expressed enjoyment! ⁓ Richard ⛩
