This is a well-crafted poem. This poem reads and flows well. Good personification with "ground wears it's Sunday best". Excellent complimentary picture. Nice job.

Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
A lovely poem and sentiment. A very expressive picture as well. I am jamming with my mixes from you tube. Elton John, Don Maclaine, Neil Young, Beatles, all the greats, I may forget certain things from time to time, but not my songs. Great writing. Karen :-)

Comment from Esther Brown
I do love your images, both the choice of art and words you choose to describe them. Absolutely. We were riding the Harley today...and I wish I could wrap the Harley riding feeling in words. Leaving responsibilities and phones behind...riding through the mountains capped with snow. We have a ride we do down daffodil lane. Long ago someone planted them for miles along a country road.

I remember riding a motorcycle with my exhusband, it was so much fun. The smells, the wind the sun, everything seems more vibrant.
Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words. Have a wonderful weekend.

I liked your take on cherry blossoms as the ground's "Sunday best" on the path to chuch. You are, as always, a very gifted poet. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Comment from Mark D. R.
Gypsy,
This is a good example Gogyohka poem. I would have preferred a more classical Haiku version as follows:
cherry blossoms fall
across the path to the church -
ground wears Sunday best

No thank you. Gogyohka is not haiku .. the only requirement is five lines.
Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words. Have a wonderful weekend.

I remember being lucky enough to visit Washington DC when I was young. It was spring and the weather was just beautiful. The trees were just ablaze with color. I can picture it now. Gretchen

I'm pretty sure I've shared before that one of my favorite pastimes is to walk through the Tidal Basin in Washington DC when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. The gorgeous bloom and the smell are perfect. Your poem reminded me of this. I think Shelly did a poem about cherry blossoms too. Thank you.

Comment from shelley kaye
cool cherry blossom gogyohka!
cherry blossoms are my second fave flower - daisies are my fave
great imagery and i like the sunday's best across the church parking lot
one suggestion i have is maybe move 'across' to the third line to make it longest so it goes across the page...

f a l l
across the path to the church---
ground wears
its Sunday best
just a thought! nice one! thank you for sharing

What a gorgeous poem with stunning words written. I love the thought of walking down a path to the church with cherry blossoms at my feet. Cherry blossoms in the state of Washington DC, are a spectacular site.

I really like this, the joyousness of flowers which are the symbolic expression of things, as we age we can see all the benefits of the years, with literary expression being one of them, well done, blessings. Roy
