Hokku:

Ah! those cherry blossoms
their beauty amazes me again –
finally spring is here
© Chèvrefeuille

soft petals come to life
puffs off the ocean

in all its glory
cherry blossoms boast
 festooned Stanley Park

strolling through the park
birth of new relationships

lovers holding hands
pause, admire blossoms’ fair
dawn of spring fever

midsummer dreams
first kiss turns to lustful bliss
autumn weddings set

September comes and goes
couples seek shelter indoors

cozy fire crackles
lovers recall their first kiss
 budding spring day

longing for romantic walks
beneath the cherry blossoms
