Poem of the Day: Cherries Jubilee

06/06/2010 by Cosmographia Books

Mary Miller Pembleton submitted this lovely poem in response to my National Poetry Month call for poetry (it was in April, but it’s never too late). Read her note below and enjoy!

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

-Mary Miller Pembleton
