(An Ode to Spring, based on Iceland)
Often misled to be a heavy ice shed
The world misjudged your smile
Through the light of a gentle thread
You are a beautiful isle
Overflowing in hoards of purple
The redwing turns its path
Lúpína's often seem eternal
They turn to take a bath
Breaking out of a frozen pool
Waterfalls of a vast array
Hues of crystal blue, that of a jewel
Never causing fray
Now it seems the spring has changed
Japan starts to show it’s rain
It often leaves me feeling estranged
Oh, why now must I feel the strain
So often I feel dread
I'm so sorry that I fled
Extra:
The storm (Haiku)
Before disaster
Rustling, rattling leaves
And then, silence spoke
