Weekend Meditation #77 Poetry Archive (3) ... cherry blossom
CHALLENGE: Welcome at a new episode of our special weekend meditation. This weekend I have another nice challenge for you ... a new episode of "Poetry Archive", that special feature in which I love to ask you to dive into your archive(s) and find a haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry form you have created. This weekend, as it's Spring, I love to ask you to search your archive for poems themed "Cherry Blossom". As you all know I love creating haiku about cherry blossoms and I even created a special E-book "fragile beauty" with only haiku about cherry blossom.

This is such a lovely image Gillena! I can find myself dancing in this whirling wind of beauty! Here is a blossom haiku from my archieves...

Gentle blossoms bloom,
kisses from a dream long lost...
Waking to this joy.

Confetti cherry petals ~ sigh ~ a visual that floats off the screen/page and carries the reader away. Lovely, Gillena.
