on a thread of birdsong
first blossom

It is such a relief to see greenery again!

So true! When I saw that tree was already blossoming I had to stop and enjoy it 🙂
Wonderfully crafted haiku Blake. I sense the spirit of Basho … this could have been written by him. Chapeau!
Oh I’m sure Basho would have added other layers 🙂 But thanks, Chèvrefeuille – and for the inspiration, too.
“On a thread of bird song” is beautiful!
Thanks, Janice. One of the nice things about where I live is the wealth of birdsong – I’ve become a big fan 🙂
