“White Blossoms,” Day 13: #NaPoWritMo, #haiku

Posted on 13 Apr 2021 by Colleen M. Chesebro

My neighborhood glows with white blossoms from the Bradford Pear trees that line our streets. It’s spectacular! The ground is covered in a white skiff of petals, and it looks like it snowed!

This afternoon the wind grew cold and gusty… just like a typical Michigan spring day. I’ll take some more photos tomorrow. For now, just use your imagination.

You have some lovely trees in your neighborhood. Not that, I don’t they just are not blooming yet. I have a thing for trees.

Beautiful poem, Colleen, and I can just picture those lovely trees. You seem happier now that you have moved to Michigan.

  Absolutely! I feel better too. My asthma has calmed down and I’m not sweating to death every day. 🤣❤️
