Pink Cherry Trees
They swing and gently sway,
Standing in lines,
Trellises in the distance waving
morning glory vines!
Floating on the breezes,
Petals levitate,
Landing gently ’neath the blades of grass
on this estate!
True formations make a scene,
Observed by all who wait
Upon the floating picture
sketched between the fence and gate!
c. by Lena Smith Carter--Poetic Universalisms III, 2008.
