Beautiful Free Verse poem, that speaks to the beauty of the snowdrop flower. I think the cherry blossoms appear in March or April, so I think it is probably still a bit chilly. I like your personification of the cherry blossoms as being coquette that entice with their charm and beauty.

That's sweet. I like the blushing cheeks of the cherry blossoms. I think the snowdrops have to wait a while because they bloom when it's still winter and the cherry blossoms come later in March - April.

Yes, spring is not close in real life but for renga we need to transition. All the poets mention waiting for spring and dream of warmer weather. Hopefully it won't be an abrupt change. That's why is so important to link from stanza to stanza.

Thank you very much, big sister. I hope you have a fun and restful weekend.

Love

Marival ❤️

It's hard when we don't know what the previous chapter says. Lol.

In my notes I have a link to the Book and if you click on the chapters link on top right of each chapter you will be able to check out the book. I'll add another link to the Book on top.

Renga is complicated but I like the challenge. After you write a few it gets easier 😊

Very nice mental imagery on this one. Sorry I haven't been around. Had ambulance ride to hospital on Sunday. Home last night. Hope to be back to normal soon.
