Wow.
It's no wonder members here have dubbed you "The Queen of Haiku."
Sure, cherry trees litter the ground with their blossoms without a care in the world.
Try doing that with your trash from In and Out Burger!
But it's a lovely litter, all pinkish white and fluffy.
I loved the presentation as much as I did the wording in your lovely haiku.
It's plain to see why we are the students and you, the teacher.
Fabuloso!
Haiku Hugs!!!

Hi Gypsy; thank you for sharing your haiku about cherry blossoms. The blooms may fall without guilt, but they sure are messy if it rains! A beautiful piece which is well presented,

This poem creates a lovely image of petals falling to the ground. The tongue-in-cheek conclusion is delightful since the tree has no remorse for littering.

Cheers, Gypsy;
-all the technical aspects of this haiku were met, including two grammatically connected lines, a kigo as "cherry blossoms" And a wonderful satori as "guilt free".
-All is written in the present tense and offers a freshness a unique innocent presence that is reflected as the conceptual theme of the haiku.
-The pictures absolutely brilliant and presentation and color and very appropriate for this haiku.
-I liked it very much and thank you for sharing and take care and have a good one.
Alex

I always enjoy how you are able sway this reader's mind in one direction, then, snap my thoughts to the opposite with your closing line. Thanks for sharing another fine poem. :-)

This reminds me of the road I live on in London my road is full of cherry blossoms I love it when they are in full bloom, yet hate that when they blow the blossom off it enters my hallway in my home and covers my car, also it means Autumn and winter are around the corner. Love your word choice it's flows just as the blossoms do leaving trails on the. Pavements and roads.

guilt free... I wonder who is guilt free, the blossoms or the person responsible for raking the yard? I guess it is open to conjecture. Some great images for the mind in this one I think, Gypsy, Giddy

Cherry blossoms seem to be the perfect subject for a haiku. I enjoyed your 4-8-2 version with the addition of alliteration and the thought-provoking satori. The picture you selected and your color presentation are lovely as well.
