A leaden gray sky
flutters of delicate pink
Who can see the sky?

[…] In addition to blogging at It’s Just Me, Liza can be found at Twitter and Flickr as lizalee. A look at two of her posts, A long walk on the coast and Trip Report: Elkhorn Slough, will introduce you to her writing and photography, and give a flavor of her blog. And these two poems are among my favorites, Pigeons O’er the Mission and Hope of Spring. […]

Nice haiku poem and delicate plant against sky. Sepia is my personal favorite. Great job!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I appreciate the good words.
Great poem 🙂 That’s exactly how I feel with the plum blossoms. Rain? Gray sky? How can you see that when there are blooms everywhere?
I just realized, your image matches the haiku perfectly. The image is Japanese simplicity as well 🙂
Thank you so much, Red. I love watching spring creeping back into the world. Plum blossoms are the first step towards that creep.
LOVELY! SIMPLE AND FULL OF LOVE! GREAT READ~!
Thank you! So glad you liked it.
what a beautiful photo, the colours are gorgeous
Thanks, CGP. The photo was a little washed out SOC (straight out of the camera). I played with it a little in iPhoto. I really liked the result.
There’s definitely a japanese feeling to this composition. It’s so delicately pretty..
Thank you. I think delicate is the ultimate word to describe blossoms like that.
It is all so beautifully pinkish! =) Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Niina. I love the color pink so you couldn’t have said a nicer compliment! 🙂
I had the same reaction. Immediately on seeing the photo, I thought both “Japan” and “Haiku”
like haiku, the photo is simple and lovely.
Thanks, Wren. Just what I was going for on both counts. Glad it worked!
The simplicity is perfect and lovely.
Lovely remeinder spring is almost here.
I’m so ready for Spring!
That is simply gorgeous!

You are very kind, LL — thank you!
Beautiful! Both the photo and haiku.
How is the Kindle working for you?
Thanks, Pam! I’m glad you like them. I’m loving my Kindle. It’s wonderful. I wish I had more time to spend reading!
Lovely plum blossom and lovely photo.
