that girl with the pink hair
flirting again --
cherry blossoms

Bio Sketch
Lesley
Anne Swanson has lived in Northern California, the Southwest, and the
Pacific Northwest, but now calls Pennsylvania home. Always a wordsmith,
she discovered tanka in 2011 and has been enthralled ever since.
Two types of beauty are well contrasted through the visually and emotionally resonant juxtaposition of images of a pink-haired girl and cherry blossoms.
ReplyDeleteLesley's sensual haiku reminds me one of my haiku about cherry blossoms:
fleeting glimpses
between cherry blossoms
a girl's sunny face
