acacias in bloom-
can’t smell the fragrant blossoms
of flowering plum

no jostling students-
joy of spring break – or is it
no rush hour drives?

remnant of winter-
last night’s battering rain and
cold winds storming here

These two haiku and one senryu were written in response to Fragrant; Jostle; Remnant at Three Word Wednesday.

Kids all went back to school here last week from March break. Lovely use of the prompt words.

Love the use of each prompt word in it’s own little setting! And…the second one made me smile…the joys of NOT commuting, if even for just a week.

Paula, thank you. I do seem to keep writing about not commuting, don’t I? And I was inspired by Magical Mystical Teacher and her haiku and senryu. I thought I’d try that approach for these three words.

I’m delighted with this trio! I especially like the fragrance of the first one—yes, a haiku can have its own special redolence! 🙂

Love spring break, and how you wondered if it were the lack of students or the ease of driving that made it so sweet. Always love haikus, especially those as well done as yours. Sweet rain, sweet blossoms, rain blossoms on me.
