She remembers the cherry trees were in bloom when she met him,
Time rolls back,
In a humble cafe, drinking tea,
A man leans across and catches her arm,

The cherry trees were in bloom when she met him first. The man in no time could enter her heart and soon enter her life too. Wonderful days were passed until once things changed. Now that life is just a fading memory. But when she sees the Cherry trees in full bloom, she is able to re live her past in all its vividness! A beautiful poem! Really enjoyed!

The poem is a mermaid swimming in an ocean very deep, where waves do not affect the static peace of of the ocean and the poetess has described the beauty stored in the depths, like a diver that brings out the pearls, polishes it and makes a necklace of the poetry and puts it in a showcase and every romantic heart becomes a juvenile delinquent to steal the necklace.........................10

These are the moments when one reads good poetry with its classical charms revived. Your cherry tree has got delicious fruits... A good poem with unique power of expression.

Your poem reflects sheer romanticism. Last stanza contains vivid blend of human emotions with nature. I loved reading it. Anyhow syllables in each line can be reviewed.

For a lover of expresions, like me, you got me at: her life begins to matter, ...that line takes on a life of its own, bringing to life all that was dead, creating a life out of nothing. In an instance of time, when you wanted something to matter most, when you have ever wanted to be noticed, it happens in real presence of those you want it to matter to. And then there was the ever presence of flow, guile, creativity and passion lurking all around. You take us to a place reminiscnt of somewhere some of have being before-regardless of age. Yet, you manage to pull the breaks and switch gears with: This is all a long time ago, ...That was expertly done so so good. The back and forth between decades of years and the attraction of the winds it is so easy to miss the 2 characters in the poem and be so drawn into the story of her life! . Very beautiful. This belong with the best: Langston H, Robert F, William S. TFS.10/10
