Notice

shades

pink in

Spring,

 

flush of

buds sweet

are those

petals,

 

filling air

with color,

first taste

of season,

 

giddy bees

appear, buzz

overcome

with nectar,

 

be quick for

breezes gather

soon blossom

will begin falling,

 

cascading like

confetti at

young maiden's

wedding,

 

as it

lays

beneath

my feet.

Ah yes. Spring has donned her frilly frock and is about to dance round the maypole. Enjoyed your poem. You say a lot in a few words.

It does look like confetti doesn't it! You've managed to cram such a lot into so few words here Jenny. I'm glad you decided to have a go at our clever IP. Perhaps you'll try in prose too?

We had a springlike day on Saturday and the blossom on my trees thought about opening, but the next day it went back to winter - coats and gloves weather - and I am so tired of it!

Hi insert, it was the blossom on our tree starting to bud that inspired me to write this poem, I thought it looked so beautiful with the green grass and cheered up the grey sky.

Don't think we'll be having a drout this Summer with all this rain.

I'm still in the process of writing my story which is so much fun, but takes up a good part of my spare time. I'm determined to stick with it, but I can see myself working on it for quite a few months.

Anyway thank you for the read and sharing your thoughts.

Jenny.

Sweet reminder of the dazzling pink blossoms (they have masses in Japan I believe!, but we get plenty to cheer us), as you say lovely in the develpoment, lovely in the tree covereings, lovely in their falling. This looks more than 50 words set out like this! Rhiannon

I couldn't agree with you more about the dazzling pink blossoms. Our tree is out in full bloom and brightens up even the greyist sky, it's just  such a shame that it falls so quickly. The black birds love to sit on the branches waiting to be fed, they're such comical birds I could watch them for hours.

As you say Japan holds so many species of blossom trees, it must be a dream to see.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts Rhiannon, they're always welcome.

Jenny.
