cherry blossoms – Selected haiku

3 April 2021

we looked at, stood in

front of trees at the Nation-

-al Arboretum

wet cherry blossom
hanging on after others
fell off and rotted

looking at nature
through an iPhone, retinas
in human eyeballs

flowery AF
(is this the golden hour?)
looks good for Insta

rain rips white cherry
blossom petals from branches,
decorating grass
