- Because no self-respecting poet who writes haiku doesn’t at least once write about cherry blossom viewing.

Is that a haiku? :-)
17 syllables. We can call it a senryu.
…now that’s a poem

Thanks Josh! This one kind of tickles me.
I’ve always been pretty strongly moved by the sight of cherry trees in bloom. In 2006, I attempted a rather ambitious abstract write that is focused solely on the cherry tree. If you’re curious to see, I’ll put a link here.
Hey Erin, go ahead and post the link. I’ll look at it and others might enjoy it too.
Hope you’ll enjoy. Here’s the poem:

This poem actually marks a turning point in my writing process. If only I was able to continue studying full time from that point on without having to hold a job. That turning point also marks a turning point in my life in general when I was no longer willing to put myself at the mercy of others in order to put a full time effort into my study of poetry.
