Hello, Michael,

Can words ever capture the simple, innocent beauty of the unaware pink cherry blossoms?

Thank you for reading!

Well done...

I am impressed that you managed to get the esoteric connotation in both of the statements.  ~ Geez.

Hello, Geezer,

Each Spring I try to find the words to describe the beauty, but I always fall short.  Nature is just simply being Nature - unassuming.

Thank you for reading!

Hello

Hi Lavender.

As I read this minimalist poem, I was looking out the window at our own cherry tree blossoming for the world to see.

In a word, Thanks!

All my best, Will
