Old Cherry Tree

by Gypsy Blue Rose


children and birds chirp
 
 
even the old cherry tree

blooms every spring

    with bountiful fruits—

heavy branches hang low

for the farmer's children
 
 
sparrows feed

on higher cherry tree boughs —

timeless chirping songs 
 
 
 




HAIKU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, enlightening the reader and making an insightful connection. English Haiku doesn't follow the 5/7/5 form, because Japanese syllables are much shorter. The rule of thumb is to write it as succinctly as possible and 17 syllables or less.
