Sakura(ๆก)
For Japanese Cherry Blossom Season
Introduction
This is the start of Cherry Blossom Season, so we should have words to remind us of these lovely blooms. This is from a conversation I had this morning.
I will attempt this with Kanshi (ๆผข่ฉฉ) using lรผshi ๅพ่ฉฉ and jueju ็ตๅฅ rhyme forms, though this is my interpretation, so may not be an exact use of the form, which you can read about here:
Cherry blossom season, known as sakura season in Japan, typically occurs from late March to early May, with the peak bloom varying by location. The blossoms are celebrated for their beauty and are central to the tradition of hanami, or flower viewing.

A Forest Shower
Introduction This is a villanelle example for the forthcoming "Showers And Fools" Challenge that has been inspired by the image above. I really liked it, but it wasn't right for the story I was writing. To me, it cries out for a story of the joy of experiencing showers and rain in a beautiful forest.

The Devil's Cut
โComrade, finally youโre awake.โ The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.

Nice reminder! I use to see lots of these when I was younger and loved having a sniff as a kid on the way to school. I donโt see these around so much these days! ๐
This is a beautiful poem, Mike. <3
I'm too far behind to discern how well you did with the form, but the words are lovely.
Oooo, I don't think I've heard of Kanshi before. You executed this so brilliantly and beautifully!
Now I want to get a cherry tree so I can sit outside under its blossoms <3
I love flowers and the cherry blossoms will be out soon in Delaware. Beautiful poem - Beautiful photos. Nicely Done!!!
So beautiful and I can see the cherry blossoms bloom along with the bees buzzing too. Good job.
Outstanding! Love the company music as well.
so delicate but so powerful
This season is beautiful indeed. A beautiful poem too, Mike.
Like feathered wings of angels - thatโs a beautiful image. Used to live near DC and the cherry blossom festival there was amazing.
beautifully captures the essence of the blooms!
