29-3

wind-dried washing, blown

with scent of sun and Spring air, 

all clean, fresh and crisp

the flowering black-

currant droops its bright pink blooms

against new green leaves

22-3

daffodil brightens

and cherry tree whitens; brought

to life by the sun

equinox passes, full

moon wanes as Spring ascends, mist

diffuses sunrise

the promise of Spring

no longer a hint but now

a reality

Freya Pickard 2012

13-3

the breeze skims my neck

scratches at my cheeks and ears; 

mist halts Spring again

Freya Pickard 2012

8-3

bright mist blown by warm

wind reveals blue sky of

Spring and the sunshine

7-3

lightness in the air

as misty dawn brightens. Year

awakens, smiling

A published Haiku

Guess what?

I've had a haiku published in The New Writer! OK, it's only one haiku but it's difficult getting accepted for publication in this "different" magazine. I know, I've been trying for over a year! 

For those of you who subscribe to The New Writer, my haiku is on page 33. If you don't receive The New Writer, you can find out more about it here

And if you enjoy my haiku, you may well enjoy my other poetry. Dial 174 has published my poems Hearth and Cosmic Riddles in #88. To find out how to obtain copies of Dial, please contact
