Hatsu Hana (The First Cherry Blossom) - October 9, 2014

Continuing along memory lane today's Carpe Diem Haiku Kai post brings back a prompt from March 2013: Cherry Blossom or Hatsu Hana - a classical spring time kigo.

First Cherry Blossom

cherry blossoms sway
in the early morning breeze
bees hum

the first cherry bloom
harbinger of a pink sea
perfuming the lane

tiny cherry buds
open under the warm sun
defying winter

Morning Dew Troika

                                                                           morning dew glistens
                                                                           wonderland of beauty
                                                                           first rays of dawn

        morning dew glistens                                          spider's web in the trees

spider’s web in the trees                                      nature's diamonds

nature’s diamonds                                               through the fields

                                                                            nature's diamonds
                                                                            ephemeral crystal drops
                                                                            inspire the poet
