Awakening Assumption


It is hard to believe another March has arrived, and it is time for another Slice of Life Challenge.  This is my third year of participating.  Thank you Two Writing Teachers for creating this space for me to share my corner of the world.

Last week as I was leaving school, I noticed the buds on the small maple trees along the walkway. I know it is wishful thinking, but could spring be on the way?  Here is a quick draft of a spring haiku.

  1. As I notice our trees swelling with buds, I get my hopes up too.

  2. "Awakening assumption" -- awesome line! Keeping my fingers crossed and my assumptions in check that spring is near.

  5. I think it's more than assumption -- you have evidence! I think we are ready for spring to arrive!
