Parallels of man to the sacred cherry tree blossom
Life Blossoms by healfromwithin
Cherry Blossom Time writing prompt entry

Man...
a seed, given the spark of life,
growing, a nourished embryo within;
the babe, eyes alert, arms reaching...
a man, strength and purpose-filled;
the elder, wisdom bearing...

Blossom...
a seed, sparked with life,
nourished sprout within Mother Earth;
the sapling, alert, flexing, reaching...
a tree, strength rooted deep;
the blossom, beauty bearing...

A Lifetime; A Blossoming...


Writing Prompt
Write a poem (any style - minimum 8 lines) that contains the words or makes reference to Cherry Blossom(s) but is NOT an ode to the plant itself.

See Full Listing for restrictions on promoting.

Author Notes
From seed to fallen flower - the creation and inevitable death of the cherry tree's blossom mirrors the existence of man.
