Spring Tree and a Haiku

Long awaited spring. We're living in a new apartment this year, working from home on some days, and spending afternoons on the deck. Somehow, despite the stresses in life, I'm paying attention to something as simple as the tree hanging over the deck as it started to bud. The tree has since exploded into a bright green leafiness. And this year, I'm in a mindset to actually enjoy it--a mere tree! In response, a haiku:

Giant budding tree,
hanging over the back deck,

bright green leaves bursting.
