Four Haiku on a Cherry Blossom Tree

New life commences,
Shy buds peek to promise hope
To the grey faces.

Embellished in red,
The baubles bloom to pinkness –
Which it soon disrobes.

On the ground, peeled gold.
The scent of cold on the air.
Now cloaked in darkness.

Bare branches, lifeless,
Awaiting reawakening
Whilst covered in white.
