Each spring, I look forward to the cherry blossoms. This was my view until a few days ago when we had thunderstorms and strong winds. The blossoms are gone now, and I miss them.
A big thank you to Matt at Radio, Rhythm, & Rhyme for hosting today.

We have a Japanese cherry tree which yeilds flowers similar to a typical cherry blossom, but more pink - and the buds are just starting to appear. Your post reminded me how much I look forward to seeing them each year.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds beautiful, Matt. I just wish the blossoms lasted longer. They are always gone too soon.
DeleteLove your new pink dress; so grown up and lady-like!
ReplyDeleteMy view is a Palo Verde veiled in yellow, dancing in a desert breeze. It too, will soon be just green. Happy spring!
Thank you, Patricia. I've never seen a Palo Verde so I looked it up. The pictures of them are lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat second stanza is especially pretty, Linda. Our dogwoods are beginning to bloom!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura!
DeleteI love the ending, Linda, still waiting for our blooming trees, but the buds are there!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. Enjoy your beautiful trees!
ReplyDeleteLinda, what a lovely poem. "Alone doesn't have to be lonely" is a wonderful lesson for us all to learn. I especially love "a cherry tree wears her new pink dress."
ReplyDeleteThank you, Denise. I think it's important for us to have "alone" time to enjoy nature.
DeleteThis is a wonderful poem (and photo) - you've really captured the busy-ness of spring in the natural world. Thanks for sharing these with us!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elisabeth. You are right, spring is a busy time for nature. : )
DeleteMuch loveliness to keep you company, as well as inspire you, Linda. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christie!
