Bold before the rain
flowers in sunlight
with glorious abandon
bold before the rain
Poppies in the breeze

memory’s echos
Fallen Blossoms, A Haiku

moments of sunlight pulled down
the delights of spring
Petals are Falling
amidst the birdsong
and the days getting warmer
petals are falling

turning sunlight into life
