Stanley Park chase (Tan Renga)

Tan Renga 1 Minute

cherry blossom rain
young girls with pink umbrellas
watched by eager boys (JazzBumpa)

pacific gust lifts his cap
they smile as he runs by

girls giggling
amused with this new chase
shamed boy drops his head

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

  1. Yikes — wish I’d read yours before writing mine! Well, some find the giggling embarrassing — some find it just plain weird, right? 😉

    1. Oh mine is totally different, kiddo…no kissing in the horizon. The ku brought me to Stanley Park in Vancouver known for the beautiful cherry trees a gift many years ago from Japan. Our host, Kristjaan, has written during their haiku fesitival there as well.
