“Almond Blossoms” by Vincent Van Gogh, 1890

apples and almonds
begin as delicate buds
which blossom in spring
if cloudy skies rain too blue
fragile flowers fall like snow

Tanka inspired by Van Gogh and Megan Willome…and spring rains ☔️

    Lynn, this tanka feels so gentle yet fleeting. The last line is beautifully bittersweet.
