[Shortly after the snow melted this year I noticed something on our front lawn. It was like a light brown blanket suspended above the new grass that was springing up. The brown blanket was the layer of leaves that had fallen last autumn that we had never got around to raking up.]
From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

nice sense of passing time
(plus the sign that your level of gardening diligence is about the same as mine) :)
this is why I quit raking years ago. :)

I really like this one because of the feel of movement it presents.
Floots: I suppose we're not so green. :-)
Andrew: Waste o' time, eh?
John: Thanks.
Aurora: Thanks (not sure if you are being sarcastic or not). ;-)
Can only hide things so long.
nature has its way of dealing with things regardless of our efforts (or lack thereof)
nice!
Pat: Indeed.
Polona: Well said!

Pamela: *Big smile* (although it'll be on the other side of my face in another six months).
