Specks of red and blue
Settle on rich blossom
This Holi day .
P.S : Holi is a festival of colours celebrated by Hindus in India , which marks the beginning of Spring .
Written for the Carpe Diem . The prompt – Risshun ( Coming of spring )
Loved your haiku! They have such inspiring prompts at Carpe diem!
