Good day dear visitors,
It's really a joy to publish another post here at my base haiku-blog. I ran into a wonderful challenge to day which I love to share with you all and which I had to take. I like challenges so
Ese's Weekly shot and quote challenge, Beginning I love to try. It's the goal to use a photo and a quote to write a poem, to me of course, that will be haiku.
As I have it right this is the quote which belongs to the photo I love to use:
Everything is still ahead…
Well ... let me try it ... here it goes my first attempt for Ese's new challenge:
new beginnings
everything is still ahead -
cherry blossoms bloom
cherry blossoms bloom
finally spring has conquered winter
a new light rises
a new light rises
cherry blossoms fall silently
at last cherries
at last cherries
bare branches will bloom again -
new beginnings
I hope you like this cascading haiku ... and I think I have touched the quote and have used the photo in a right way. So if you like it or dislike it ... please let me know.
Namaste
This blog is about haiku. A classical haiku counts 5-7-5 syllables. Chèvrefeuille (the pseudonym of Kristjaan Panneman, a Dutch haiku poet) however writes his haiku in the Kanshicho-style. In the Kanshicho-style the classical syllable count isn't used. Matsuo Basho (1644-1694), a haiku poet, wrote his haiku in Kanshicho-style for several years, but he returned to the classical way of haiku writing. !!! Anonymous comments will be seen as SPAM !!!.

Thank you very much for being a part of my new challenge! Beautiful take on the prompt, Kristjaan - your cascading haiku paints the circle of life masterfully.
Wonderful, Kris!!
This looks more like almond blossom, cherry is white. Unless it is flowering cherry instead of the stuff that makes the fruit:)
This is lovely !
