Pink cherry blossoms
wish they could write as nicely
as they fall to earth
Love it, L!

Hello, Michael,
Can words ever capture the simple, innocent beauty of the unaware pink cherry blossoms?
Thank you for reading!

Well done...
I am impressed that you managed to get the esoteric connotation in both of the statements. ~ Geez.

Hello, Geezer,
Each Spring I try to find the words to describe the beauty, but I always fall short. Nature is just simply being Nature - unassuming.
Thank you for reading!

Hello
Hi Lavender.
As I read this minimalist poem, I was looking out the window at our own cherry tree blossoming for the world to see.
In a word, Thanks!
All my best, Will

simply being
what's I've always liked about haikus is that they deliver an impressionable feeling with their brevity and you've done exactly that here.
Nicely penned.

Hello, Wally,
Cherry blossoms are so pure, even poetry can't describe them.
Thank you, as always!
