At least two ways to go on this one, a simple taste or romance in the making. Thanks for sharing this mystery. Sincerely Moses

this poem can be interpreted as the people (students) that come into our lives on a day to day bases. A reminder of our responsibility... no I've not painted this tree but maybe Ill try my hand at a write, on it. ( your work is a ninth inning shutout in a world series game and a game winning drive of a superbowl! --------both winners---------) your are a blessed writer. much love!

Hmm, this could be an orange, an onion, many things? I like the fact that you leave us to choose the type of blossum with "your expert hands." Nice senryu, Carrie. Love, Carolyn
