the soft brush
of our hands folding sheets
cherry blossoms

我們折疊床單的雙手
輕輕地碰觸
朵朵櫻花

轻轻地碰触
朵朵樱花
Bio Sketch
Claire Vogel Camargo, a late-blooming poet, dove into haiku in 2015. Winner of a few awards, member of the Austin Poetry Society Board and British Haiku Society, publishing credits include Presence, Hedgerow, Failed Haiku, World Haiku Review, and her book, Iris Opening. She and her ice sculptor husband love dogs.
Enhanced by this visually and emotionally effective juxtaposition of hands touching and cherry blossoms, a brief yet beautiful moment is keenly captured in this heartwarming haiku.
