Cherry blossoms fall
Whilst those of apple and plum
Stay fragrant, intact
Cherry blossoms fall
Whilst those of apple and plum
Stay fragrant, intact
As the dust scattered
So did the cherry blossoms –
Rug on a clothes line
Sniffing the blossoms
Bob is enjoying the scent
As much as I am
Sweet and honey like
Greets me each morning and night –
Unsure of their name
Some of them splatter
Whilst others simply bounce off –
Hailstones on windscreen
Glad to be back home
Petals adorn my doorstep
Rows of blossom trees
Evening air lingers
With the smell of barbecue…
End to a fine day
Sitting on the step
In the brightness of morning –
Different bird songs
Inhale cool fresh air
A touch of freshly cut grass –
Sound of lawnmower
Spring and Winter duel
Skirmishes of warmth and light –
Icy air resists
