Spring is here; the cherry blossoms bloom
Bringing fragile flowers, soft perfume
April's wind and rain are not discreet
Lay pink petaled rug beneath our feet

i love the cherry blossoms...one of my fav parts of spring...
still working on mine...
Very nice and enjoyed your tags :).
Rhyming back-to-front, upside-down and inside-out.
Well done and I particularly like the April/lay p..., where you borrow a letter from the next word to make the front rhyme perfect.
Lovely decryption of spring, love the smell of flowers during spring time.
Nice framed couplets!

Lovely. Can't wait until the spring blossom happens here. have to get through winter first though :(
Sweet frame.
The ending reminds me of a poem I wrote called Carpet of Fire
about red leaves under the trees.
I knew exactly what you meant.
LOVELY and PERFECT. You completely understand the concept and you wrote it so beautifully. Thank you. I felt I was there in every word!
Nice and simple. I like that. Last week when I mowed there was lavender and lilacs and violets and wild onions all growing at the same time. My yard smelled really funny. Like someone's Italian grandmother.
I thought this one would be right up your alley, LM. Nice job. I love those pink rains of April, even though the petals look pretty damn good where they were--it's about the cycle.
Cherry blossoms are a wonderful part of spring, so beautiful whether overhead or underfoot. And you did well with the framed couplets here, as well!
