Joseph May Poet Sijo

Wildflowers - Visual 7

Love, like wildflowers,   once bloomed on  that bench beneath the old oak tree
 But love's promise  faded with time as a flower in winter
 Passionate hearts blossom  'neath azure skies as love returns in springtime

Andrea Dietrich February 8, 2015 at 1:22 AM Joseph, this is very pretty. Wish you had reduced your syllable count in last line. other than that, you did a fine job depicting that scene with sijo.
