Sakura

What magic to be
included in the dancing
of a sakura,
from when it spun from its tree
to the moment it lay still.



Liner Notes for this Groove: This poem was created for the prompt given at Poets and Storytellers United's Weekly Scribblings prompt, Liminal Space.

      I have been known to twirl under a tree while the petals fall around me.

    There is so much beauty around us we are very lucky, especially if we open our eyes more often! Beautiful poem Rommy.

      Exactly. And sometimes that simple sort of beauty is what feeds our spirit best.

    This is beautiful, Rommy. The blooming trees in our back we thought to be dogwood it seems are wild cherry. Their white blooms were such a welcome surprise.

    Clever, neat, Rommy!! Now when a leave falls I will watch more intently the movements of the flight to the ground. Thanks for hosting. As an after-the-cow-got-out-of-the-barn attempt, I found a sort of liminal aspect of my Rooster and Chickens poem.

      The fall autumn leaves have their own charm too, yes

    Depth, meaning, and a world of beauty in such few words. You have a way with tanka... And I so love how well the form fits the image, the season, and the mood. What magic, indeed...

      I had a good time deciding how best to express what I wanted to say, and this form really let me do exactly what I wanted to do.

      I may not ever be able to visit Japan in sakura season, but I'm holding out hope for an autumn visit, someday.
