Bud Burst Haiku

Bud burst - trumpeting
The first freedom from scaly walls
Triumph unfurling

Embracing soft wind
Gently draws ice from hard ground -
Roots wiggle their toes

Lime, mint, emerald
Bright fingers arise from the -
Tattered zombie grass

Jewel-toned notes flutter
On hungry wings - hopeful dads
Tenor their resumes

Ice thunder crashes
Rising rivers sweep debris -
Leaping salmon smolt
