Spring In Tokyo

Cherry blossoms cruise

     Serenely on tranquil pond

          Koi glide beneath

               Seeking shade 'neath lily pads

                    Bright parasols on parade

Lovely pictures you have penned here, Bob! Thank you for commenting on my "Stupid Fly"..For sure you've enjoyed the German beer! I have lived at in those years in Darmstadt which is not far from Frankfurt. Now here in Saxony and very close to the Czech and Polish Border I also enjoy the good Czech beers!! All the best!...Gert

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.
