A few days away
and cherry blossom gone,
but look — cherries form.
Returning
I refill
the bird feeders.
Rare visitor flies in.

behind grey clouds and weeps
to see the daffodils fade away.
White cherry blossom pom-poms
waving in the breeze call
her back to smile again.

Cherry blossoms cling
to swaying branches.
Petals shaken free
fall like springtime snow.

April breezes blow.
How soon the cherry blossom fades,
the petals swirl and fall
upon the ground like snow.

Against a backcloth of white cherry blossom,
buds appear on the crab-apple tree
like clusters of bright red beads adorning
a modest maiden’s ball gown.
