Done for Carpe Diem.
Today’s episode of Tokubetsudesu is to write a soliloquy no renga, where one poet creates a series of haiku (no more than six) for a given theme or hokku and then concludes it by connecting it in a full circle to the hokku. Please visit Carpe Diem for more on this. I must add that this was quite a challenge in more ways than one. 🙂

Hokku
Ah! those cherry blossoms their beauty amazes me again – finally spring is here
© Chèvrefeuille
the season’s sprightly morning
puts a smile in my coffee
2
ah picture perfect
silver beads on pinkie buds
I am tickled pink
the sight of soft blooming spring
on a morning kissed by dew
3
blossoming cherries
scent weaves on gossamer wings
a first breath of spring
garlands adorning faint love
a reminder of rebirth
4
echoing kisses
resounding in soft petals
the coming of spring
a potpourri of colours
out in fiesta of love
5
ah, spring
blooming of cherry blossoms
in the cycle of re-birth

Done for Carpe Diem. And also for Recuerda Mi Corazon. I’m adding my two lines of seven syllables each to complete the hokku below into a tan renga.
From deep in the spring
clear reflections rise to meet
falling plum petals
Mabson Southard
in graceful midair tangle
and a waltz frozen in time

From deep in the spring
clear reflections rise to meet
falling plum petals

between death
and resurrection
the veil peels
and darkness
fades to a gossamer thin
revealing the glow
2
of immortal bloom
his shroud a blossom in Spring
the tomb his victor
then hush, bleeding piece of dust
we rise, for He is risen.
Happy Easter 🙂

Spring Blooms
3-5-3-3-7-5
crisscrossing
blossoms sway in breeze
white against
azure skies
for sure Spring waltzes its way
to our waiting hearts

blooming in beauty and grace
