I awake...equate
lily heads wave above thin snow

lilies grow in thin snow;
they spring forth in Spring.

flowers grow a thin snow;
must be spring now.

I awake, equate
flower grows from white snow bank
must be spring time now.

Hi Steve,

Nice revision but I have a new nit - you got away for the Haiku parameters in L2 & 3.
I know that they are not hard and fast rules, especially when written in English but you stated:
QUOTE
As for the 5-7-5 if it is to be hiaku then it has to be that
.

I do like the revision to "a thin snow". That's how you know Spring is just around the corner.

Larry

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
