Hi Gypsy, I love the sentiment of your poem. Nature is resilient. It endures droughts, fires, etc., but still, somehow, comes back to life.

Of special note:
cherry trees still blossom

(Good imagery)

A pleasure to read. This poem made me smile. Xo. M

Yes, our lives do contain to sadness and pain, but we can still choose to be happy and relish in the cherry blossoms and the sunlight. As we're dealing with 107 or higher temperatures, I keep reminding myself how gorgeous the bright blue, cloudless sky is. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, God designed nature's beauty to faithfully continue no matter what goes on in the lives of humankind. But if we take time to notice, we would be comforted.

Trying to shield yourself keeps you from living. There can't be success without failure. This was a very good poem about something that is very basic in most of us. Beautifully written. Gretchen

Awe....how sweet and how true!
This is a grand haiku and seems close to what a Japanese haiku should be. So confusing the transfer from Japanese to English.
Well done Gypsy!

How true Gypsy. :)

The universe, where everything continues to spin and life continues to blossom wherever it may bloom.

I find your choice of words very uplifting. A wonderful sartori.

I like your Haiku poem - Really Cool picture presentation! Good Pic. - Good syllable count and flow - this is a good write - one that makes one actually think - a Zen poem - my take away? The world is the world - in balance with nature and the natural laws of physics / universe. Pain and suffering on the other hand- a product of the 'mind' - a good servant -but a poor master - and as a result (Buddha - life is pain and suffering) the world/nature and cherry blossoms are just fine without mankind and its destructive contribution - So true - Thank for writing this thought provoking poem. Hug. AP
