Song of the Season

Liner Notes
Liz ( @kahlo2013 ) said she'd write me a haiku. I was expecting 17 syllables and got 68 gorgeous syllables (I think I sang 66 of them correctly).
If only I could sing and play piano at the same time! That is what these 4 haiku deserve. I've spent a few days on this and it needs a few more days of practice and refinement, though I'm finally at a point where I'm pretty sure you can imagine what it is supposed to sound like. Apologies for all of the wrong notes.
I love these lyrics. Liz, we've done something in the spirit of several of my favorites: Vivaldi (of course), Piazzolla (Estaciones Portenas) and Chin (Formosa Seasons) ~ thank you for surprising me with that! #haiku
Liz says: I’m grateful for the gift of music Karen brought to these haikus! I love the approach she took and her musical sensibility.
Lyrics
Song of the Seasons
(single note in bass: E - D; B - A; G) fresh fallen white snow windswept drifts with blue shadows blank canvas of hope
(same as above, though this time 2 notes in bass) lavender fields sprinkled with yellow and white hues and scents of growth
(low broken chords: C - G; C - am; C - D - G) soft green rolling hills inviting vibrant and vast warm landscapes of home
(C - D; G-em; C - G) amber and red trees leaves floating in air and streams safe times to let go (*oops - I sang "to go home")

the haikus are excellent and the musical setting for them could not be more fitting.

A gorgeous setting of evocative lyrics. The haiku are true representations -- with vivid descriptions of nature. The simple (and varied) setting works well.
