Haiku



                                      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.

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.
