Spring Fever Thread – Sijo and Photo Links Welcome!

by Sonagi on March 17, 2008

The symphony of spring color has begun on the peninsula with  magnolias opening in Busan.  Post your spring-themed sijo and photo links here on this thread. 

 I noticed today that Bradford pears, a favorite ornamental tree in my town, are budding along with other flowering trees and bushes.  I expect to be posting photos of dogwoods, redbuds, and all their pastel-petaled friends to Flickr in about two weeks.

It’s warm in Seoul today
but no magnolia blossom been seen yet.
I refuse to write any Springtime Sijo
until cherry blossoms wash the Yellow Dust out of my heart.

Since i’m alone here, a second edition:

The sun is warm in Seoul today
but the magnolias have not yet warmed my spirit.
There can be no inspirion for a Springtime Sijo
until cherry blossoms cleanse the Yellow Dust from my heart.

… is that better?
