Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Like bolls of color
yet falling from the branches
the heavy blossoms
of the cherry tree

Beauty in each cluster
of March and April
ushering in the springtime
before the heat of summer

Something so telling
in the cherry blossom
something so beautiful
in the coming of spring
