A Year Of Haiku (XII): Sakura

 


Sakura hails
the incipience of Spring:
weather says "Not yet".

(Sakura () is the Japanese word for cherry blossom)

    A timely post TB, woke up this morning to white everywhere.... decks, roofs, yards but not the streets. Temps at freezing, some just below, some just above, you can see frozen raindrops on the bare tree branches. Yep, April second........:)

    1. Fifty this morning
      as I ran dark city streets:
      May remains hidden.

    Leaden skies damp cold
    Macon's winter seems entrenched:
    Sakura pink pops!

    1. The pink sakura
      waits under the rainy skies,
      flees in Spring's sunshine.

    1. Thanks Leigh!

      Surprisingly enough, it is from the Japanese Garden in New Home 2.0. It really is a great Japanese Garden.
