Sakura

Carpe Diem #1157 Sakura, the national pride of Japan

young girl dances
beneath the cherry tree
remember our youth

 

Toshihiro Oimatsu

during Yozakura
paper lanterns hang
illuminating hope

 

like the swallowtail
we cannot ignore spring
cherry blossoms

 

Michael Stout

paper lanterns hang
night viewing of cherry blossoms
noisy celebrations
sakura petals in your hair
remember when we were young

as we age
slower pace of plum festival
more to our liking

our youth
stolen away
sakura snow
