Precious Sakura
Beautiful cherry blossoms
Adorning the scene
Taiko drums leading
Sakura music of spring
of colors and sounds
Songs of old,since the
Meiji Restoration likes
of modern Japan
Written for Chev's haiku CARPE DIEM #117 with prompt 'cherry blossoms'
a great set bursting with color, sound and history ^^
ReplyDeleteLike to see such colors now, as only white is seen here. Great depiction from you, as their beauty shined through.
ReplyDeletenice...i love cherry blossoms...especially when they rain down...beautiful....
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing quite like cherry blossoms in early spring! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow! Hank ... what a treat these haiku you share here with Carpe Diem. That second haiku is for sure my favorite. The fragility of Cherry Blossoms caught in a scene with those big Taiko drums. Chapeau!

ReplyDeleteA nice blend of sight and sound.

ReplyDeleteLovely poetry and I do remember the song of the same name sung in Japanese, when it hit the charts round the mid 70's.
ReplyDeleteThis was beautiful, Hank! It made me long for Spring!
ReplyDeleteTerrific take on the prompt... :-)
