Mark Toney Poet Sijo

Notes About The Poem

Yoshino Cherry Tree

Yoshino cherry tree, blossoms glistening in the sun
Most vibrant display of white-pink blossoms, with faint almond fragrance
Delightful moment, overcome by a massive sneeze attack

Harry Horsman October 15, 2019 at 11:35 PM Is it the almond, that you are allergic to, i wonder. Your description of the tree is one of love...Great Sijo. Mark Toney October 16, 2019 at 11:16 AM I don't know, Harry, I'm pretty much allergic to every tree out there in the Spring :) Thank you for your encouraging compliment! ~Mark
