The cherry blossom over the Osaka River in Osaka city, Keeps the castle overhead mesmerized in its beauty, The pink and white blossom sparkle and shine on nice Spring Day, Like the stars glowing from supernova in an explosive way. The spring has heralded its arrival in a magnificent way, The blossoms bend over to greet the sightseers in Japanese way, Reflecting its beauty and majesty in the river, The snow-covered mountains turning green in its wonder. Cherry blossoms are so reflective and full of charms, Romance and pleasure have been invoked forever in hearts, The painting of woman in red and white kimonos picnicking in the park, Blends the vision of the painter with nature’s most beautiful art. In the nighttime, the castle is illuminated in nice colors in dark sky, The cherry blossoms radiate their own heavenly charm in dark sky, Songs of nightingale make her divine in moonlit night, The onlookers hope that they would not lose such a beautiful sight. Throngs of people view the beauty of blossoms, in sheer admiration, So intricate, they can only be designed by God in heaven, Butterflies drink its nectar, Bees and hummingbirds spread its pollen to needy in nature. On a spring rain, or a windy day, the blossoms depart, They fall, leave the tree, signifying transience of good life, The blossoms will be celebrated in dance and art, I will wait till next spring, to see the cycle of rebirth in life.

What a delectable scene you have painted. Cherry blossoms are a wonder of creation. Tourists flow to Japan at the time of the blossoming of cherries. The pictures you have downloaded are so illustrative of the beauty of cherries that blossom like mad during spring. "The painting of women in red and white kimonos picnicking in the park, Blends the vision of the painter with nature’s most beautiful art." So true. Lovely, dear Jay
