clinging for dear life

a few late pink Poui -

 neighbourhood tree 

Here in T&T 🇹🇹  the Poui trees break out in bloom around the same time that your Cherry is blooming, mid-March to late April. It's a blossoming tree thing, has to be. 

yellow trees nearby

are still showing off their -

golden blossom hues

They are very very distracting, so much so, on my way to the polling station this morning, i had to stop to snap some.

Today is General Elections, here in T&T 🇹🇹

Haibun Monday
Portrait of Two Masters
Frank prompted that we: Write a haibun that references Basho or Shakespeare (or both!)

LOVE COMPARED
I shall compare our love to evenings, made mellow in wind songs and fragrant bayleaf, swaying as if mystified, dunked in infatuation.

The breeze is an ardent lover, embracing: tree, flower, leaf branch. It casts spells, whimsical, magical to leaves and petals. Spellbound some fall spinning dazed to tenderly kiss the ground, there to lay as carpets spread.

eventide cooler
than the drought parched dog day -
resplendent Poui

they burst into bloom splendor
