Nature writes “Spring”
in colorful blooms, even
over rough bark.

Nature writes “Spring”
in colorful blooms, even
over rough bark.

yellow blossoms
herald the Spring:
fragrance spreads the news.

white blossoms
seen through still bare trees:
looks like fog, sans fog.

bloom-laden Cherry
tree attracts no viewers;
the last blossom does.

trunk ringed by fallen blooms,
only the pate contains hangers-on.
