you'll love me again

Renewal
Stewart at House of Sternberg has issued a challenge. He calls it "an assignment." We are to create something which has to do with renewal, and since I am writing haiku tonight, here is my offering:
bare bones of winter
trees, one crocus in the snow
you'll love me again

"You'll love me again." Very nice...hopeful. Thanks Hearts. I will make sure to post this next Wednesday.
Ah, renewal.
This is beautiful, HinSF, simply beautiful.
I bow to your superior haiku skill. Incredibly nice.
Nice Haiku. Makes me feel a little warmer, ready to kick off the winter chill.
Wow this was incredible. This could have been my mantra while my wife and I went through our separation between September to January (we're together now and things are great). She does love me again. Thanks for this.
This certainly is all about renewal. I can't wait for the warm weather.
Stewart,
I knew I could come in under 1000 words if I tried.
Thomas,
Thank you. Simply thank you.
Moon,
Definitely not superior. In fact, yours reminded me how much I love haiku and inspired me to try a few.
Olives,
Glad I could help.
Furious,
I'm so happy for you both. I love happy endings.
Jr,
You've had a really severe winter, but it's almost over. Hang in there.
That's such a pretty picture!
Cece,
They're such brave little flowers.
Beautiful picture, beautiful haiku. And well paired!
There's something to be said for the beauty of simplicity.
Great picture/haiku combination, especially the last line.
Law Fairy,
I never met a flower I didn't like.
Thinker,
Many thanks!
That really is affecting.
Meno,
:<) !
Beautiful
Kate,
Thank you for reading it!
I am drawn to most anything that speaks of hope. Beautiful.
Remarkable that so few words can convey so much. The line "You'll love me again" is so unexpected and so full of meaning and power - the haiku is like a little window into another world.
Susan,
So am I. Luckily, there is always hope. It comforts our present while it fuels our dreams.
Thanks for your visit.
Gugon,
Thank you for coming by, too.
I love haiku for so many reasons, one of which is that the last sentence is usually surprising.
so strong and powerful, like it alot:)
Etain,
I'm so glad. Thank you for your most welcome visit.
The haiku itself is beautiful; combined with the picture, it is uplifting and spiritual.
There is a certainty in the hopefulnes of renewal.
Thanks for sharing that.
Travis,
Thank you and your lupine alter ego for visiting me, and for your so-nice comments.
