Sakura (Cherry Blossoms)~
Pink Cherry blossoms
Petals so lovely and light
Swaying in the wind.
Down on my windshield
As I drove by High Park Gate
Sakura I love.
Sakura so vain
Three pink petals slipped in
In my bag I packed and go!
Gone to the airport
Customs seized my sakura
Late, I missed my plane.

While some of us go for a walk to find inspirations to write a poem, I found my inspiration at my own backyard on haiku style. - Happiness Redeemed ~ Haiku Style
Fall is one of the four temperate seasons, when the arrival of the night becomes noticeably earlier and the wind gets colder. It signals transition from summer into winter. It is the most colorful season of the year.

Cherry blossoms truly signify the arrival of spring. That was the first thing that I thought about when some mentioned Washington, D.C. A wonderful haiku!
Very pretty thoughts well expressed. Thumbs up and shared.
A very lovely haiku on wonderful sakura.
Darn you customs, always making us late and seizing things from our bags! There are great notes to this poem and I'm already willing to read it once more. Great work, CrisSp.

travmaj: I know. These customs officers are sometimes annoying. So, I dare not risk. In one of my flights one of the groomers handed me a beautiful stem of their local flower (forgot what it's called) but I can't take it with me through the customs. So, poor flower was left at the galley of the aircraft. I had to take a picture as a souvenir. :)
Well, thank you for coming by. As always, I sincerely appreciate hearing from you.
