Cherry Blossom (a girl)

A new dVerse poets prompt of cherry blossoms

She smelled of cherry blossoms in our walks to a point of hanging in her wake

“Hey, what are you doing? Keep up”

“Sorry” I would say but still keeping a half step behind claiming whatever might mind for that halted step and scent carried my way in her draft

I know she only kept me for notice, as I am not a find, most surely not, but a body for Moms and Dads and Sisters and Brothers and Company to present to, temporarily, in overstuffed dining rooms at Spring get togethers until cherry blossoms fade

But, for just a moment, she was a cherry’s flower petals that petaled on me

  1. It sounds like unrequited attraction… but still for a brief moment it is still wonderful to be there until the petals fall.

  2. My mom swears by Bath & Bodyworks Japanese Cherry Blossom lotion and shower gel. My dad worships the ground the walks on. Reading your haibun, I wonder if there’s something in the cherry blossoms…
