spring haiku and tanka
Tehachapi wildflowers in spring
spring haiku and tanka
early spring rainfall
soaks into dry claylike soil
regeneration
scattering seedlings
diverting mountain waters
biological
interference criticized
let spring bloom naturally

Verification wastes my time, and often doesn't work. I am going to stop commenting on pages that require verification one of these days.

I see the similarities in our photos….great poem
Yes, spring will arrive, eventually, of its own accord.
I like the natural regeneration ~ let spring bloom ~
I am all for natural blooms. We have fields of poppies at the moment, really beautiful.
let spring bloom naturally :), great!
been there…among the spring wild flowers of Tehachapi and your tribute is excellent.
Amazing colour – love wild flowers in the spring. Well done!
Yes, I would criticize the interference too. Spring is wild and it will always bloom.
Thanks for visiting the pages on my blog. 🙂
regeneration is such a hopeful word. spring nicely depicted.
The haiku is lovely. I always am excited to find the ideal 5-syllable word for the final 5-beat and regeneration fits perfectly.
What a contrast between the heat fuelled landscape and the fuel of water..quite beautiful..Jae
The last line makes me feel optimistic! I love that! Thank you for sharing!

The ‘No Help Wanted’ sign is clearly out from this blog. The picture too, with that foreign looking man build house cluttering God’s perfect landscape.
Wonderfully written, Tammy.

I agree, let spring bloom naturally 🙂 Very nice haiku and great photo 🙂
Lovely haiku! At first glance, I thought the photo was digitally altered – I didn’t realize until reading the caption that the magenta was coming from flowers!
