R for Reacts to Expectations in the Quest to be Healthy

sudden appearance
sakura awe to behold
sea of fluffy white
as sudden as it appears
so also it disappears

cherry blossoms white
reacts to expectations
perched atop our heads
sayonara oh, so quick
to answer Providence's call

  7. From my window I can see cherry blossom petals blowing in the breeze like perfumed snow. Too soon gone.

    Another day in Amble Bay!

  8. Awesome tanka Hank. Life of cherry blossoms is really that short. You caught their fragility in a great way.
