Haikus for Nature III

AWA

March 2025

Following are the haikus I have written in March as part of my ‘What’s Your 60?’ challenge. I have committed to complete the following challenges in 2025 to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Alberta Wilderness Association (AWA):

  • Write 60 nature-based haikus

  • Submit 60 new observations to iNaturalist

  • Walk 60 km/month

If you wish to sponsor my efforts you can make a tax-deductible donation to Alberta Wilderness Association.


Wicked

Wicked ice glows gold

Textured blues create fine art

Sunrise river sings


seedling in a peat pot

Scent of Summer

Lavender seedling

Sprouts in artificial light

Can’t wait for your blooms


Longer Days

On my morning walks

Different bird songs erupt

As days grow longer


leaf buds on branch

Seasonal Signs

Closed buds emerge here

Bright green against winter brown

Spring Thaw

Melted ice flows down

The Bow feels oddly quiet
