 in hidden places
under the porch floorboards-
cherry blossoms                       -    Managua Gunn
blown by the light evening breeze
discarded and unwanted

in hidden places
under the porch floorboards-
cherry blossoms                        -  Managua Gunn
sustained for a while alone
dry,spent and taken for trash

Written for Chev's CARPE DIEM Tan Renga Monthly Challenge # XVI with
Managua Gunn's haiku 'in hidden places'

    Sad how beauty passes away. But the tree remains.

    Taken for trash could sure leave them with a bad rash

    I like that first completed Tan Renga the most. A well written completion.

    discarded cherry blooms evokes sadness...and can be read metaphorically

    hidden only for a moment...you bring the fragility of our nature so well with your completion.
