| Haiku My Heart |
The blossoms return! Yes ... I have seen that. In my garden the first cherry blossom has been spotted, so yes the blossoms return ... finally Spring is coming after a long cold winter. As I walk through the park that's near my house I see the crocuses bloom and the narcissus, but also the flowering Trees are coming in bloom. It's a wonder .... I love the sight of these fragile blossoms and flowers and all the pretty colors. It makes me very happy.
Today I have written a blog about the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival it's a great festival in Vancouver (Canada) to celebrate their 40.000 cherry trees coming in bloom. You can read that blog here They have a haiku invitational to write haiku about cherry blossoms. I have contributed two haiku for that haiku invitational.
Today's Haiku My Heart haiku is about cherry trees. It's an (as I call it) an Impromptu verse, just written without a 'trigger' to write it.
ah! sweet perfume
of the young cherry trees
first time blooming
on an old branch
a young sprout of cherry
blooming again
See you next week ... for another Haiku My Heart
Blessed Be

Beautiful visuals in my head from your haiku ~ lovely photos and spring ~ enjoy the weekend ~ thanks, namaste, carol (A Creative Harbor)
I too am excited that trees start to show that 'green shimmer'again. Spring truly is arriving... I can do with some sunshine after the cold and grey winter. I haven't seen any cherry blossems yet though (I guess it's time for a long walk and stroll along peoples houses that I know have those trees in their garden...) Your photo as well as haiku are beautiful.
Ah, those first blooms give a warm feeling. Nice one.
beautiful blossoms!! I have not yet seen any here...but they must be just around the corner...I hope!

Terrific haiku, I know how much you have longed to see the cherry blossoms!
I love how these two haiku are bookends... young and old and the honor and beauty that springs from both. Thank you so for these words and image!
We planted one of those very slim cherry blossom trees 12 years ago when we rebuilt out cottage from rubble, it now towers alongside the chimney pot, I just love laying in bed watching the blossoms.
Your photo is beautiful and the haiku verses match perfectly!

Happiness abound when the blooms appear each year! Your haikus are so beautiful - what an awesome celebration that they will adorn!
I LOVE the cherry blossoms and your haikus go perfectly with them - I hope you win too! I can almost smell the cherry blossoms...
beautiful blooms! the promise of Spring!
These haiku are lovely - I can smell the sweet scent of the cherry blossoms. I used to live on a street in Vancouver that was lined with cheery trees. This made Spring very special as they all began to flower. You have brought that picture back to me.
So pretty and the promise of aweetness.
I feel like the old cherry branch tonight, and I'm hoping somewhere, somehow new blooms will sprout!
