spring’s pale green raindrops
cling trembling to bare branches
spatter on sidewalk
_____
enslaved boy set free
patrick loved his enemies
truth drowns in green beer
_____
swords of irises
pierce soil and snow to touch sun
rising from bulbs’ tomb
tidal survival

This haiku technique is called Narrowing Focus and it was used often by Basho (1716-1784)) because, he as an artist, a painter, was a very visual person. It starts basically with a wide-angle lens on the world in the 1st line, then switches to a normal lens for the 2nd line and zooms in for a close up in the end.
