A gogyohka for Frank Tassone’s weekly haikai challenge.
loveliest of trees
the cherry was
but now that all are greening leafy bright
the tree that holds a blackbird
is the one I’d choose
gogyohka for cherry blossom

Jane Dougherty Writes 
It looks like someone stuck a fluffy cotton ball in there–and I’m imagining a blackbird taking it for her nest. 😀
It’s a terrible unfocused photo, but it’s the last bit of plum blossom (I cheated) that’s left. This new phone is a fancy one but the camera isn’t as good as the old one.
I don’t see many hen blackbirds at present. They’re too busy getting the home together. The cocks are everywhere though, strolling about as if there were no restrictions….

I’d choose the blackbird, too. Ironically, the cherry trees are blossoming in Washington, D.C.–but the area has been closed to (human) spectators.
I wonder how many people will realise what they are missing? Or will they still be fixated on toilet paper?
That blue sky could frame anything for me. (K)
It was glorious on Saturday. Too bright for the camera to cope with.

#Haiku Happenings #3: Jane Dougherty’s latest #gogyohka for my current #haikai challenge!
Thank you, Frank 🙂
My pleasure, Jane! 🙂

If its an actual picture, i should send you our old cherry tree for caring, too. Lol Here it lookes like autumn, even the sun is shining bright.
It’s a picture I took on Saturday but this phone camera doesn’t like bright sunlight. There just a bit of blossom left on one tree. The rest are all in leaf now.
OK! But you got the point for the blooming one. Lol Here we have to wait on.
That east wind, the Bise from Russia is going to bring our temperatures down again, so you’re not alone.
😉
Love this, Jane!
Thanks Colleen 🙂
