The Flowering Almond

Orchard of ruffles,
Exploding light-pink petals:
A blizzard of bloom.

Love it! This speaks pretty well for the past summer here in Michigan...an explosion of green. Somehow an elderberry tree has sprouted in our back yard...birds having a ball. Love, daver

Beautiful, as usual. I can see the blizzard of pink ruffles along city streets. Excellent writing, Raul. Love, Dane
