Spring In Tokyo

Cherry blossoms cruise

     Serenely on tranquil pond

          Koi glide beneath

               Seeking shade 'neath lily pads

                    Bright parasols on parade

Robert Pettit Date: 2/16/2011 7:22:00 PM Reading this brings back memories of when I spent the summer of 1963 in my mother's homeland of Okinawa. As usual, this is well written and should get a lot of attention from Debbie. Great job Bob. Login to Reply
