Poem of the Month 
Thanks Nina! Yes I know it’s May but I am submitting my poem anyway. I celebrated National Poetry Month by posting one poem a day for the entire month of April on my blog and FaceBook. Kinda proud of accomplishing this goal. Kinda love your poetry. Kinda having a great day. Have a taste..
cherries jubilee
cherry blossom trunk
draped in velvet robes,
cotton candy flakes sugar Asian roots
entrancing grove’s fleeting
flower frosting
blackbird braided branches
faintly drumming,
bowed heads gently march, sit upon her strands
richest pink silk spilling
sacred secrets
crisp cedar heats noses
soft moonlight melting
frozen tears leave a love sheen on spring cheeks
cascading shivers, sudden sky thunder, all at once
satisfying hunger
Thanks Mary! I will post this soon and send you an email when I do.
