In celebration of poetry month and cherry blossom season, I attempted to write a haiku below. Composed in three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. "A haiku often features an image, or a pair of images, meant to depict the essence of a specific moment in time." The Poetry Foundation is a great website to learn more about haikus. ~ JM
Branches hold pink blooms
swaying in the new spring day,
admired by all.
Cherry blossoms in 2019 near the Tidal Basin. Because of Covid, the viewing of the cherry blossoms is limited. But I hope to get an opportunity to take pictures of the blossoms in 2021. |
