A "Cherry" Poem

   This is going to be short. I mentioned in my last post that I'd written a poem about cherry blossoms. This one is actually a haiku, a Japanese style of poem. These traditionally consist of three lines and do not have to rhyme (though I sometimes make mine rhyme anyway). The first and third phrases have five syllables, while the second line has seven syllables.  This type of poem is so fun to work with! 

As usual, no copying. Thank you!

The Stately Bride

             By Martha Abilene

Springtime's cherry tree

Adorned in a bride's attire,

Wearing most fine lace.

Waiting underneath

The broad alter of sapphire

With the utmost grace.

And soon her bridegroom

Of summer will come fetch her

To some other place.

Signed,

Martha
