Haiku--By Martha Magenta--England

among car horns
the music of 
bellflowers
_______________ 

New Year's Eve
a blackbird turns over
old leaves
_______________ 

spring departing
a butterfly shadow
on my hand
_______________ 

a slight dusting of snow
a courting robin whispers
in the leaves
_______________ 

spring sunrise
birdsong cuts across 
our conversation
_______________
