ReplyDeletei like the bright cherry tree. wish i could eat some cherries.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a prelude to a delectation...
ReplyDeleteI love the colour contrast!
ReplyDeleteAn imagistic and intriguing poem.

ReplyDeleteWell! I don't think I need to divulge where my mind ran to! ;) Potent little piece indeed!
ReplyDeletedelicious
ReplyDeletevery yummy,
ReplyDeletelove it.

The DC cherry blossom trees are only so faintly pink, but my cherry blossom trees in Baltimore bore blossoms the color of pink sweetheart roses and as they bloom in clusters, there seemed to be fresh new bouquets every day those two weeks in spring. I wondered at the choice of stitches - couldn't decide if that made the poem rapacious or just passionate and urgent. As a woman (because I am) I might have preferred laces (not as in shoes but as in dirndl). Though that might have led to confusion. For Geisha, perhaps sashes -- hmmm?
ReplyDeleteLovely and delicious haiku as others have also said. Glad to see you here, Adam.
I can picture bright cherry as either something as simple as someone blushing, or something more perhaps a bit more 'complex.' Steamy little piece!
ReplyDeleteVery good write. Wasn't sure where it was going there- but all was quickly resolved and very effective. Thanks
ReplyDeleteAhhhh. Beautiful, sensual.
ReplyDeleteif you are going to undress...pulling stitches sounds like a fun way to get there...smiles.
ReplyDeleteI think the word stitches made me smile so I prefer the word lace or buttons if you want a more sensual image.
