Beauty in the Wind

Trees arc in late spring wind.
Cherry blossoms hold on tight
then float down like gentle raining mist.
Accumlate on ground,
nature’s pink coverlet.

    It is heartwarming to know that you cherish your visit to Japan many years ago in memory. Similar beautiful scenes along the river bank of Potomac should be adored, too.

      So good to see you here, Kenji! We had such a wonderful time seeing you in Japan. So very thankful you were an exchange student at WTHS and we got to know each other! Hoping you and your family are well.

    Sakura is truly beautiful, Lill, but so short-lived. You captured that in this poem.

    We too had cherry trees at home and they are truly brutally beautiful in bloom. A beautiful poem too.

    Beautiful images. As I am unlikely to visit Japan, it is vicarious travel too.

    Absolutely beautiful! Your “word picture” creates a picture even more lovely than the visual picture you shared!

    Thank you!

    Trees arc in late spring wind. – This is my favorite line. It brings forth the grace of trees. A tree blooming like this always leaves me starstruck.
