JACARANDA BLOSSOMS

Violet and blue
drift upon the breeze. Twirling
and dancing snowflake petals.
Soft blossoms nestle
against inclines, forming bright
ski-slopes on a summer’s day.

  2. Thanks Jingle... (Must check your name) This cinquain was such hard work and I'm still not sure that I got it quite right... We have a lot of jacarandas in SA and when their blossoms fall to the ground it becomes S-O-O slippery to walk... Perhaps I should change the punctuation between breeze. Twirling... Decisions, decisions...
