Plum Blossoms in Japan
Sunday, February 4, 2024 - Collage Poem for Jeffery Streeter
Plum Blossoms in Japan
It’s still winter,Â
these beautiful blossoms
billowing, bewitching symphonies
burst into color
quietly demand our attention.
The plum tree,
pine and bamboo;
the three friends
resilience against the winter.
A welcome message,
Spring
is on its way.
People
nightingales [and]
white-eye mejiro
admiring the beauty
for over a thousand years.
I hope to see you there!

Thank you, Cecil! it's a lovely poem you've made out of my humble post.
PS To my admittedly inexpert eye, the trees in the photo look more like cherry trees.
Ah lovely!
