Not so long ago
bare trees dominated. Now
a froth of blossom
dazzles my eyes and fizzes
like nature's champagne cocktail.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for your comments. I seem to write a lot of poetry around spring time. My other productive period is autumn. Appreciate your interest.
Beanie.

What a perfect simile to capture the froth of cherry blossom:

fizzes
like nature's champagne cocktail.

Hi Smudger - I think spring has given way to autumn and summer is on holiday!
