Not much of anything softer than a pussywillow. As kids we'd gather them for our mom's vases. A lovely Haiku and an awesome photo. John

This is lovely Anne-Lise. I have a pussywillow in my back yard. A very old one and I love it when it blooms. Love the pic. Well done. God Bless, JB

What a great haiku, Sunshine! I never thought of pussy willows as cat paws, but I can see the similarity and the "bottle brush" line at the end is awesome. Best wishes in the contest! (fave) Hugs, Carolyn
