Sakura Haikus…Part 1? (4.3)

Sakura sending
Friends into a frenzy of
Instagram photos

—

Under the blossoms
Spring up gardens of people
Faces turned upward

—

These weeks in Japan
Of well-organized madness
For tiny flowers

—

My supermarket
Has a sakura section
Tents, blankets, and booze

—

Stopping at each tree
At this rate we will never
Get to work on time

—

Each blossom must fall
Fragile, fragrant, and fleeting
Treasure the moment
