The cherry trees are budding. Like the love in our hearts.
Soon it will fill the garden with clouds of blossoms.
That will rain upon us as we kiss beneath the bright spring moon.
Love’s first pale pink blush
Hides high summer’s hot passion
And fall’s thunderstorms

Written for tonight’s Haibun Monday (3-29-21): Cherry Blossoms at dVerse.
Decided to keep it as short and sweet as possible.
The photo’s are both taken late April in Stockholm previous years.
Read other Haibun’s by me here.

The world according to RedCat 
I’ve visited Malmö but not Stockholm, and I imagine it is lovely in spring with clouds of blossoms. I love the contrast in your haiku of ‘pale pink blush’ and ‘hot passion’.
Thank you Kim. The spring usually comes a couple of weeks earlier in Malmö than Stockholm. And so would the cherry blossoms I presume. 😊
Gorgeous haibun. I can see through your words those trees you mentioned
much love…
Thank you! 💕
ooh thunderstorms ! oops got distracted! can’t wait for the gardens to be full of blossom.
Haha! No worries, I for one love thunderstorms. If possible I wrap myself in a warm blanket and sit under a roof watching the display. 😀
i love being out in them feeling their power and getting soaked at the same time. my wife always complains about the extra laundry.
Love the compaction here. Perfectly haibuned
Such a romantic place to be in young love!
This carried us beautifully from spring to winter. Ahhh… kisses in the moonlight…
Beautiful. Let’s hope fall thunderstorms don’t end in winter’s cold isolation!!
An elegant, poetic haibun, with such lush imagery and eroticism. Brava!
A lovely Haibun!
Sometimes less is more, as you’ve demonstrated here with your short but perfectly-formed haibun! I love the way you wove summer and autumn (fall) into the haiku at the end too!
I love this line “That will rain upon us as we kiss beneath the bright spring moon” so romantic it transported me. ☺️🌸
I love the way you have captured the meaning of the bloom more than the bloom itself. This year I expect the cherry blossoms will not be seen by me.
