a cold front moves through
pink cherry blossoms skitter—
we chide early spring
*
ice cracks like knuckles
high spring overflow
*
Japanese tourists
sip tea under cherry trees
the parade begins
*
cherry blossoms peak
pink fireworks set off the rush
best view: waterfront
*
spring season kicks off
pink ties to Japan blossom
it's cherry tree jazz

I so enjoyed this imagery this morning!! Especially "ice cracks like knuckles" and the "cherry tree jazz".
We're not quite there yet here in NJ but you've rekindled my hope!
Oh, I like these. I like the "ice cracks like knuckles," too. And "pink fireworks."
Michelle,
Thank you! Our early heat then cold has been playing with the blossoms. I think it's safe for them to come all the way out now. But they are early!
Sandra,
Pink fireworks really are planned for this year's festival!
