Cherry Blossom Festival: April 1
The cherries here are already past their prime.
Wind has shaken blooms and
rain pelted them from the sky.
And the flowering plum is
also shaking loose
after throwing pink up to the sky –
arms up! in joyful shout –
then casting it down in the street.
Among the pink a bit of blue.
Robins' egg shells
reflect their bit of sky. |
