Cherry blossoms
fall like fragrant rain
as I pass beneath
fall like fragrant rain
as I pass beneath
Here are a few poems to start the day:
The moment two bubbles
are united, they both vanish.
A lotus blooms.
(Kijo Murakami)
Temple bells die out.
The fragrant blossoms remain.
A perfect evening!
(Matsuo Basho)
are united, they both vanish.
A lotus blooms.

Temple bells die out.
The fragrant blossoms remain.
A perfect evening!

I appreciate all who comment and though I try to visit everyone I do not comment too much as rsi is making typing painful.
Thanks Rachel for the prompt "flowering." I've written a tanka and I ask for constructive criticism... I would really appreciate it! :D
What a great idea! I just started a poetry blog and have been searching for other poets. Sandy of Writing From Faith: Poems sent me your way! I've added your link to my blog and I plan on visitng often!
BTW, I just tried the link to the Heron's Nest and it needs to be fixed. It is coming up with 2 http://es and so it doesn't work. I was able to enter it manually with just one and it worked fine.
I posted the comment in last weeks. But thanks for the prompt.
Just under the wire . . . at 8:20 pm . . . here's my "flowering" haiku.

My contribution is about a side effect of flowering.
I am enjoying each and every response for 'flowering'. Great prompt Rachel!
I love the visual effect cherry blossoms have when they rain down. Lovely haiku.
Oh, what a wonderful prompt - it wsa just what I needed today. :)
these are some great topics and beautiful ku... seasons
What a fun prompt - I just found you! :)
Mine's up at Small Reflections ... a little off-beat and 'unconventional' as usual ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
I'm back with a more 'traditional' response to Week 9's prompt at Sacred Ruminations.
Hugs and blessings,
I have written a tanka for this response. I tried to suggest a rather ephemeral flowering.
