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

Soliloquy No Renga “the spring wind!”

such a malice
cherry blossoms in full bloom
the Spring wind!

such a malice
cherry blossoms in full bloom
the Spring wind!

gusts rip such soft petals
sprinkling pink on park grounds

pacific wind
competes with silk beauty
on Stanley Park

some still cling to branches
braving these ocean winds

    This flowing style creates great imagery. I can ‘see’ that park…

      Thank you, cara,
      blossoms with enduring love
      soften souls and quench the soul

    Already plotting our visit to see the cherry trees in case the winds get jealous of all the attention.

      Smart move. I am going to hope I still have a week to get to Toronto to see…a bit closer than Stanley Park:)
