Cherry Blossoms

March comes wrapped in a fleece of snow, on which Dawn casts a golden glow. And Robin Redbreasts tweet hello, a sure sign Winter will soon go: as Spring showers fetch a rainbow. Spring applies a basecoat of green when adding color to the scene. And while sprouts flaunt a misty sheen, blue skies shift to aquamarine. Pussy willows begin to bud as crocuses pop through the mud, and meltwaters set creeks to flood. And cherry blossoms bloom in pink, offering butterflies a drink. My favorite season is Spring. Spring's fragrant, scented breezes blow, as sunsets get tinged tangerine. And raindrops form Nature's lifeblood while the soil acts like a heat sink: fostering flowers May will bring.

Wow Emile, this poem is so beautiful and impressive! I know what a challenge this form was for me, I have only written one. You have really shined a spotlight on this wonderful form and your second placement is deserving of your top placement. A fave for me! Congratulations! xxoo

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! :-)
