Today’s letter in the April A to Z Challenge is C and I have chosen C for Cherry Blossom. These beautiful trees are beginning to bloom as the air and light soften with the milder weather. For more information on the April A to Z Challenge or to see other contributions, click here. I have chose to write haiku with an accompanying photograph, but everyone as their own take on the challenge.

I am also including a link to this lovely song Dance of the Cherry Trees by Irish singer-songwriter John Spillane
Such a lovely haiku and pic to go with it. The song is new for me. I like it!
Beautiful photo and poem. Happy A to Z

Thank you 🙂
Thanks for the lovely haiku and the song! Just last week my husband and I were driving and turned down a street lined with cherry trees — we paused in our conversation to take in the beauty of the moment. Visiting from A to Z. http://houserevivals.blogspot.com/
What a beautiful haiku and photo. I liked the song! I’m totally fascinated by all things Irish.
Thank you 🙂
I love this one.
