Good morning, Dean

The poem creates a blissful, innocent scene not unlike I've experienced when my flower garden comes into its own. Enjoyed.

Take care and stay safe,

Ray

It is a breathtaking haiku, so peaceful and calm. It brings the warm feeling of incoming Spring. Still, the branches are bare of the cherry blossoms trees. Beautifully chosen words and the image so vivid. Wants you to sit there, feel the breeze touching gently, and smell the flowers. I love cherry blossoms. I wrote one about cherry blossoms a while ago. I shall share it sometimes. I wish I had six stars to give you. All the best. Ella

Dean,

This is a really breathtaking haiku. Spring is in the air especially down here in the South. We really haven't had much of a winter. Zenful pleasures indeed and a mighty fine penned haiku. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent. Blessings...Portia

This one takes me there. I feel the breeze,
I wish I was sitting there. Your choice of words so right for choice of subject. Love this.

    Thanks so much for reading my spring haiku for our Haiku Club week 12 challenge, Lois.
    I really appreciate your positive feedback.
    As insightful as your work always is, it sure would be great to have in in the club with me.
    We have a chatroom set up on a server outside of FanStory (TeamSpeak3), where we all meet an can actually hear each other talk. it's a blast, and it costs absolutely nothing.
    As I said, it's completely free, and you have an opportunity to have your haiku published in our book to be sold on Amazon.com by year's end.
    If you're interested, contact Douglas Paul or Gypsy Blue Rose and they'll give you all you need to get started.

This haiku, Gentle Spring Breeze, sounds quite pleasant and almost 'sinful'. I got that one. The background is a bit off-putting though, as it is loud, rainy, and not that peaceful sounding.

    Thank you for reading my haiku for the Haiku Club's weekily challenge, Bill.
    I removed the offensive music and sound effects.
    If it bothers just one person, then I don't need i, nor do I want to include it.
    Take care...

Well done Dean, you have really given yourself to these haiku most ardently, and of course your ability to be creative in their presentation enhances them somewhat! Well done, a great creation, yet again, blessings, Roy

Ah, I can handle reading this so much better than the horror poems:)

Your words create a beautiful and zenful picture.

Lovely blossom photo as spring begins and a lovely, descriptive Haiku Dean about the 'zenful pleasures' of this time of the year for the Northern Hemisphere. You really are an expert at this style.
Lovely,
cheers,
valda

i read your little offering to my wife, background music and all, she loves doing yoga and being at peace within herself, shed love it and was at peace for awhile:) No! I'm not what you would call a yoga convert, I like the world in a constant state of flux.

    Nor would I be considered a yoga convert, Hitch.
    Not by a loooooooooooooooong shot, heh-heh...
    Thanks for reading.

Dean, how can I not award this incredible piece a six-star rating? Actually, the poem deserves a 100 stars.

In its brevity, this haiku offers much -- alliteration, rhymes, imagery (both sensory and auditory), gentleness/peace/zen, and stunning presentation (the artwork complements your message well). By the way, I wrote a poem, which I will post one day, about the gentleness of a breeze.

It seems as if the best poets on this site are members of the Haiku Club. Thank you for forming the club, for awesome haikus are being produced by its members.
