Cycles

I sit under the cherry tree and watch the blossoms fall Each petal remembers the winter and knows it will return again Make love to the earth with anticipation, behold summer For the Sijo contest...

The seasons delight us in the way they change the earth and sky. I used to have a cherry tree in my backyard. It is gone now but I miss it. Yours Matthew Anish

Bravo on your poem that defines the life cycle so well. I had never seen many sijos before this contest, but yours is one of the best I've read! Love, Carolyn
