As near as I can tell, Michigan cherries have white, not pink blossoms.
Michigan Cherry Blossoms
~ 1 ~
Michigan cherry
beware the late spring frost
do not bloom too soon
~ 2 ~
first cherry blossom
you bring the promise of spring
and joy to my heart
~ 3 ~
new white blossom
such a warm and welcome sight
after months of snow
~ 4 ~
first cherry blossom
old man remembers when
and smiles
~ 5 ~
moose and goose
stroll amidst the cherry trees
eating dandelions
~ 6 ~
first cherry blossom
soon the insects will arrive
patient spider waits
~ : ~ : ~
I love the fourth.one
ReplyDeletewonderful yes, the fourth haiku is definitely superb ^^
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm off a day. Must be seeing blogs of people where it's already tomorrow. Lovely cherry blossom haiku even for moose and goose :)
ReplyDeleteThe old man has a lot to smile about I suspect :)
ReplyDeleteSo happy the old man smiles when he remembers when! Great set as usual!
ReplyDeletealoha JzB - i like #4 however i think #5 has a whole lotta possibilities that are fun to think about. aloha.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Moose and Goose: The dandelions look more appealing than the cherry blossoms. Pardon me while I ingest a few!
ReplyDeleteBlossom Song
feast for the spider, that's clever.
ReplyDeleteWonderful haiku all of them, and that old man is especially close at heart.
ReplyDeleteI think that cherry trees grown for fruit always have white bloom. The pink flowers are on trees that you have for the flowers not the fruit. Here in Sweden they are called Japanese Cherry
loved # 4 and #2. great haiku.
