holding our daughter
up to her first plum blossoms --
petals in her hand

    Last spring, I was honored to see this haiku included in one of Ray Rasmussen's wonderful collections of photographs and haiku -- an album of spring haiku.

    new blossom of the season:
    holding my first-born
    for the first time

    A simply breath of wind-
    in the empty hand the coolness
    of plum blossom

    my daughter's soft hand
    my winter perceived ...

    chapel bells ring
