Cherry Blossoms

March gets wrapped in a fleece of snow on which Dawn cast a golden glow. But Robin Red breasts says hello promising Winter will soon go; as Spring showers fetch a rainbow. Plants apply a base coat of green; as time inks color to the scene. Trees take on an emerald sheen, and skies shift to aquamarine. Pussy willows begin to bud as crocuses pop through the mud, and meltwaters set creeks to flood. Cherry blossom blooms open pink, offering butterflies a drink. My favorite season is Spring. When fragrant scented breezes blow, Spring sunsets are tinged tangerine. And raindrops morph into lifeblood as the soil becomes a heat sink; fostering flowers May will bring.

Emile, your brilliant word choice delivers a cornucopia of sights, sounds, smells, colors and textures! A Fav for me. Also, this is 1 of 2 poems in the Mile 24 contest using Greg's Minuanetta form, which I was unaware of until now. Congratulations on your win on Mile 24 of my 2019 Poetry Marathon Contest. Only 3 contests to go before the final! ~Mark

Oh, my goodness - another Minuanetta! I just read CayCay's, being surprised to see my form show up again ... I am honored that you used it again, Emile, and so happy to read this one and see it place so highly with Mark, a gorgeous write, (and NOT the poem you entered in my contest, which is also wonderful). Sincere congratulations, my friend - what a beauty! :-)
