#SenHai #Saturday #65 #poetry
Here is this week’s image to get your creative juices flowing! This picture shows many cherry blossom branches, with a small bird perched on one against a light blue background.
Please create one senryu and one haiku to accompany this image prompt. Remember that traditional American haikus and senryus consist of three lines in a 5-7-5 syllabic pattern. The haiku describes nature or a season, and the senryu focuses on human nature and emotions.

Senryu #65
contemplating the
seasons as they come and go
wheel of the year turns
Haiku #65
*Hiyodori’s sigh—
through cherry blossom petals,
as spring slips away

*Hiyodori is the Japanese name for the Brown eared Bulbul bird in the picture.

Nicely done on both of them. Thanks for the information on the Japanese name (Hiyodori) for the brown-eared bulbul. I looked up the bird with help from the Internet, but didn’t find this out until reading your post. Oh, the things we learn!
Thanks again; glad I read your poetry. ~Nan
