Cherry Blossom


I climb into the aged cherry blossom tree
that has lived in my backyard for hundreds of years
I lie on its strong lower branches
I gaze up into the sky
which is crisscrossed with thin frail shoots
the spiderweb of heaven
I feel at ease with the world
I am at peace
I close my eyes and
forget
forget everything

Dr. Seuss

  3. I really like the adjectives and photo. This is a very lyrical poem and I love the way it is structured. I love the name Doctor Seuss!
