This pedometer geek poet has not submitted to the Asahi Haikuist Network is a long time. David McMurray was one of the first editors to ever publish any haiku written by me.
For the week of April 24, 2024, David chose one of the haiku that this pedometer geek poet had submitted about the greening of spring. It is as follows:
spring afternoon
the first haircut
of the greening grass

Thanks, David, for selecting this haiku for inclusion in the Asahi Haikuist Network. I appreciate it.

I am not writing here anymore so that is why I haven’t commented recently. But I do still read your words and will always find them to be just perfect. The rhythm, the rhyme and the feeling. You have a gift.

JC, thanks so much. Such a compliment! To be perfectly honest, I thought you were sick or something. I knew you hadn’t written anything recently, but didn’t think you stopped writing altogether. How am I going to learn about what wines to try? Alas… ~Nan

Amazing how we wait for that first lawn mowing. And now – how fast it grows. But still we try to go for just once a week. ;)
I like the T-shirt “I fought the lawn and the lawn won!”

Yes, it is amazing how fast it grows, but the lushness of those early days of the lawn before too much sun and too little rain browns it out are worth all the mowing and raking and everything else that goes with it. We try to keep it down to once a week, but it really needs it more than that. Good thing we still have a scythe! 😉
I haven’t seen that t-shirt, but it’s so funny. So appropriate, too.

I know what you mean about sometimes the lawn needing to be ‘shaved’ more frequenty. We do ours in stages… the front is always first, then the back and finally when it drys out our gully.
Ferns and hostas are greening!

You sound like us. We do it in stages. Front first and sides, back second. With the rain garden going in, we have less area to cut in the back. Still, there’s enough other yard work to do this time of the year. We’ll keep busy, as I imagine you and your hubby are. ~Nan
