Many individual poets celebrating National Poetry Month. For example, I am posting a new haiku a day and today that will be #7.

As I thought about the haiku for this post, I remembered this is the week when Cherry Blossoms bloom in Washington D.C. I thought they were breathtaking to look out when I lived there. The trees were a gift in 1912 from Japan to the United States. More about this interesting history HERE.
This picture gives you an idea, only a rough feel for what it’s like to walk among so many cherry blossoms.
