An early May day,

Fishing boats tied at their berths,

Spring is here again.

This haiku was written as part of a Creatober challenge I'm doing with some friends. The prompt for this day was "berth".

    I enjoyed this so much :) I felt the newness of spring approaching. And the picture paired so well with the imagery, I could almost smell it. Great work!
