Cherry Blossom Haiku

A shrine bell rings as you climb the last few stone stairs leading up to the summit temple. The cold mountain wind whips your robes and the sun above glitters off of the surrounding lands.

Fall, cherry blossom
Join the flow of the river
And eternity

lovely, I thought a cherry blossom was not a peach, but peach is only one syllable and cherry is two, it's a good type of fruit, we have some Apple Peach Cider here which is a great idea, ingenious or really good, when we hardly have much of that type

Thanks for your review! The title of the poem is indeed incongruous with the body of the poem; but the name was drawn from a story that I'm fond of, and it made me feel nostalgic to include it as the poem's name. Thanks again!

THis is quite lovely. I like the idea of cherry blossoms in the sky. I like the idea of the shrine bell and the stone stairs too.

Thanks, Marie! It's all worth it thanks to your praise.
