Lent Haiku's week one

Lent Haiku's 2014 Week one

I am challenging myself to write a haiku everyday of Lent!

Ash Wednesday March 5^th

Marked with an ash cross

Lent and Austerity begin

But daffodils blaze

March 6^th

Waterlogged lands smile

The sun shrinks the 'lakes' of wild rain,

'Retreat' has sounded.

Friday March  7^th

An airfield quilt show:

The growl of a Spit engine

Bonding with patchwork.

Sat March 8

Green fields of water

A Brimstone seeking nectar

Spring confronts the floods.

Early Tortoiseshell Butterflies

Sun March 9

There is a right way.

But which? Multiple choice confounds us

Ask what would Christ do?

Mon  March 10

The buzz has come back-

Bees about their nose business,

Be still and listen.

Tuesday March 11

Fight a proxy war:

Arm rebels, sit smug yourself,

The coward's way out.
