I'm throwing down the gauntlet and challenging Buzzers to contribute spring science haikus.
You know the rules: three lines (5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables), and it has to be, in some way, both about science and spring. Other than that, you're on your own.

It seems spring has sprung
Itchy eyes, smell of damp earth, but
Not yet the lilacs.
Spring training music:
Wooden bats, gloves snapping hard,
Guys readjusting.
The swine flu outbreak:
It happened in the spring, but
We'll live till summer.
Coleoptrata
comes with spring. JGordon's is
a basement bedroom.
Spring bursts forth at last
The equinox means nothing
To Gene anyways
Cold man Winter leaves
nearly three full weeks before
the equinox comes.
I have the feeling
that animals are doing
it all around me.
A trillion gallons
of sap blasting up up up...
I must go lie down.
An overwhelming
phenomenon of spring. Don't
read into it much.
Spring pollen arrives
Delivered by April rains
An achoo haiku
Forest creatures greet
the spring. My hammer makes life
a whack-a-mole game.
Witness in springtime
Biological rebirth
Moms and lots of kids
The smell of wood smoke,
itchy sweaters, crisp apples...
Wait... is that the fall?
Whims of boys in May
Drawn lightly to girls and such
Multiplication
Birds and bees, at least,
have the decency to make
their sex more obscure.
If you work for Mark,
stop writing bad poetry
and get back to work.
(Just passing it on, y'all.)
Uh-oh. Nothing in
your haiku about science
or spring. You broke rule.
Warm spring afternoons
are surely for poetry.
(It's after five, boss.)
Yet your poem was
Posted at four-twenty-five.
Discrepancy, yes?
Bad timestamp, is all.
Blame it on the internet.
Five-twenty-five, man.
Rain, rain, rain, cold, rain.
Rain, wind, rain (baseball!) rain, rain.
Wake me up in June.

if you like granpa joe's poetry, please reply.
spread news of joe....(me :)
Haiku has five lines
Then seven, don't you see?
Try it again, Joe.
What's more, I'm afraid
That spring is already gone.
(Mark, you missed a beat.)
Oh pshaw. I did miss a beat. I should be horse-whipped.
Last reply to John
Was not a haiku at all
But rather distress.
Haiku poets count
The syllables in their works
And not just the lines.
Yes, I know, I know
It was not my intention
To skip a beat.
mdr, what's up
the last line has five, you know
not only four, duh
Yup.
Spring may be gone here
But perhaps it's happening
On Mars, don't you know?
Spring flowers dancing
beneath black storm-covered skies
a mother loon calls
My Allergies Have
Returned, Orgasms In My
Nose. My Red Eyes Burn.
kaia is learning
fall is coming very soon
lets get ready now
Can you smell the air?
Spring is around the corner.
Let's get ready now.
:-)
i like spring and I like to pick flowers. I like to jump around all day. I could stay out side all day.
A blanket of white
Hides dormant plants, frozen life
Come spring, they will wake.
