Walking hand in hand
sprinkled with cherry blossoms
at ease with love's hush

Nature has her way to sing
we listen spellbound

This is just fantastic, Margherita . . . This line sent chills (good ones) throughout me . . .

Well, you never lose your very gracious reference to nature touch. Beautiful words and lovely pic.

true love never looks after it's own interests

Hark! the flowers sing
Although they lo in quiet voice
Margherita hears

Looks like a Kwanzan Cherry, Margherita..
Love that tree, but it flowers poorly here, usually freezes in the bud..:-(

Love the poem, and picture...:-)

In England the winters are long, wet and grey which is pretty depressing, so spring is more than welcome. Lovely pic and poem.

Oh my, I haven't thanked anyone yet, sorry!

Dear Marti, you bless me with your kind and generous comment, thank you so much! You do the same, dear Poetess.

Dear Jerry, thank you for your wonderful comment. True love indeed is deeply perceived even when no words are said ... to feel good with one another is a proof of the depth of sentiments.

Thank you, dear Eric, I much enjoyed your comment. Yes I love to immerse in nature's beauty ...

I am smiling, dear Ford, your reply in haiku form is so delightful! "Margherita hears" ... I love to listen no doubt. Yes in your world it must be too cold for these magical blossoms! I remember the Cherry trees in Switzerland are the first to bloom, but they have white blossoms. Such a joy for the eyes and oh the fragrance in the air! Thank you kindly!

Thank you so much, dear Yann, for your most loving comment. This year it seems that Spring is anticipating its arrival. Meanwhile anyway we can dream.

Thank you, Cari, I enjoyed your comment. Spring may be late, but all the more you appreciate the flowers and their beauty in England. I have a cousin in Switzerland who travels every year to London for a great Flower and Plant Exhibition. She says it is overwhelming and always brings  back some new flowers and seeds for her own garden.

Thank you, dear James, for appreciating my little tanka.

Dear Ida, I am so happy you peeked in to tell me you liked this. Thank you so much. Hope you are doing fine!

Thank you, dear JL, for your most kind comment. Good to see you here too.

Love and joy.

Margherita
