fine misting drops fall
sprinkling the waiting earth
heady smells of lifetiny little sprouts
elegant curving green leaf
adorning the groundbabies gasping cries
amid steamy birthing mess
red brand-new faces

Haiku is required to ‘suggest’ a single season somehow. It might be directly, by using a word like ‘blossom’ for Spring, or ‘snow’ for Winter, or indirectly, by tone, imagery or pace.
