One magnoliaLanded upon anotherIn the dew-wet grass

Richard Wright

A balmy spring wind reminding me of something I cannot recall Richard Wright

From across the lake,Past the black winter trees,Faint sounds of a flute.

Richard Wright

A silvery chainPrevented the dark pearls from Spilling their secrets...

In the setting sun,Each tree bud is clinging fastTo drying raindrops.

Richard Wright

Like a spreading fire,Blossoms leap from tree to treeIn a blazing spring.

Richard Wright

“The pearls weren't really white, they were a warm oyster beige, with little knots in between so if they broke, you only lost one.

I wished my life could be like that, knotted up so that even if something broke, the whole thing wouldn't come apart.”

Janet Fitch, White Oleander

Heaps of black cherries glittering with drops of rain in the evening sun

Richard Wright

Creamy plum blossoms:Once upon a time there wasA pretty princess...
