4th revision
I awake...equate Hyacynth knifes through thin snow must be spring time now. 3rd Revison I awake...equate lily heads wave above thin snow must be spring time now. 2nd revision I awake...equate lilies grow in thin snow; they spring forth in Spring. Revised I awake...equate flowers grow a thin snow; must be spring now. Original I awake, equate flower grows from white snow bank must be spring time now. |

Hi Steve,
Much better, and thanks to your choice of Hyacinth, I learned something new. The Hyacinth is a distant member of the Lilium family. Therefore, you could still use lilies as long as you didn't specify the sub-species. No, really! Your Haiku (IMO) is polished. Thanks for letting us help. 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.
