February
you bake me a sweet cake
in a sugarless country
.
skiing in Gorky Park—
suddenly realizing
where we’re going
.
March
a snowstorm
settles it
.
April
babushkas chiding us
for our warmth
.
May
blossoming
at last
.

How sweeettt!!!! Thanks, Melissa!
Now you can guess where I got my idea for today’s prompt. 🙂
cleaning the garage
with the first mild April sun
one sweet day

Okay, how about
first April sun
the sweet smell
after I clean the garage
Hmmm.
April sun
the scent of blossoms
inside the garage
early April
the sweet smell
of a clean garage
…I’m going for reducing adjectives in general, and also trying to make the haiku more concrete by attaching the word “sweet” to something that could literally be sweet, like a smell, rather than something that can only be metaphorically sweet, like a day. I think describing what is actually sweet about the day — the sun, the spring, the clean garage, the scent — gives you the feeling that the day is “sweet” without having to say it.
Your mileage, naturally, may vary. 🙂
I like the feedback, Melissa. Thanks,
Sully
I’m glad…if you ever don’t, feel free to tell me…I can be bossy and annoying sometimes. 🙂
