Dear Uilleam,
Your haiku is intriguing — the exact times you note suggest careful steps of progress, and I read “spring” as a kind of renewal or new beginning. But of course, “spring” could also mean movement, bounce, or even just the literal season. It would be interesting to hear how you intended it in the flow of your poem, and how the times you gave connect with that image.
Kind regards,
Rolph
