Cherry Blossom Viewing

What a thrill it was to visit Japan with a group of haiku friends in Cherry Blossom Time in 2007!
I met these small ladies there, and they were also glad of the season!


Samazama no /​ koto omoidasu /​ sakura kana

How many, many things
They call to mind
These cherry-​​blossoms!
