falling blossoms
the swirl of her dress
as she spins
her merry giggle
twirling in the rope swing
dogwood blossoms
weeping cherry
the reason to hurry
forgotten

All lovely. I especially like the first and third, though, which work together as a pair that shows the contrast between joy/sorrow, motion/stillness. Powerful.
oh what pretty flowers; the third haiku 'weeping cherry' is my favorite of this set
much love...
Thank you, Maggie and Gillena. I appreciate your comments.

Three good ones. "weeping cherry" is my favorite, and I like the way the first one ;puts a new spin (I know, I know) on the tired cherry blossom motif.
these go together well - and what a photo! I believe my own fav is the third as well - and I remember reading it in Presence.
p.s. my young niece just last week was trying to get her dress to swirl.
Thank you Bill and Janet. The spring blossoms are always lovely and inspiring.
