Growing up, the Cherry Blossom tree in the garden was a big part of my life. It was a beauty to see in full bloom and sometimes a nuisance when its flowers would fall in the Autumn.

This post is a poem that i have written regarding my Cherry Blossom tree and the inevitable nostalgia that arises from life on the move, as an expat.

Thanks, i didnt know how cathartic the effect of writing could be to a person.

I would definately encourage it.

I have penchant for writing. I even have a fiction prose I wrote which has not been published. I like seeing budding writers who truly want to perpetuate literature. I encourage you to keep it up regardless of some predicaments that may seem to be encumbering the zeal.

Judging by your vocabulary you certainly seem very well read!

hahaha EasternLady, I appreciate your remark. You are also well read because not everyone can write a poem. I have discovered that poetry is the most difficult and problematic of all the genres. In spite of that, you have its knowledge in your fingertips. I really would love to have some time with you discussing literature and the act of writing. I wish you more power to your elbow.
