HuMp DaY Haiku - Hidden Treasure

Woodland walk in Spring

Cottonwoods along the path

Seeking early growth.

Cautious of nettles

amid native bleeding hearts.

Spring treasure hunters
 

Peeking underneath

the soggy brown leaf layer

will they find the prize? 

If you know what this is... you can imagine our delight when we discovered an undisturbed patch and recovered nearly half a gallon. Ah, spring! 

I started doing Hump Day Haiku with Carla Sonheim's Silly classes...  and decided as a challenge for myself, I'd continue.  In this process, I have found that creating a haiku (non rhyming poem with 5 - 7 - 5 syllables per line) feeds my soul. 

I especially like creating them to go with my photos and art.
