This is great! Just perfect. Those blossoms do look like snow as they fall......

Wonderful, sensoral, evocative piece....Thanks for clearing my stuffed up nose with the scent of a bouquet.

Puts me standing under a cherry tree in the spring with petals fluttering down all around - beautiful imagery.

MOya, I love your poem, but you're a bad girl to mention that four letter word to us cringing New Englanders!

I can certainly appreciate Anita's envy. Having grown up without it, snow always makes me stop and notice its magic.

Thank you, everyone. When my children were tiny, many years ago in the days when London was snowed upon we used to make snow pancakes. Moya

I love poems of anticipation, Moya, and your haiku is one of them. Smiles.
