I love this! what a lovely image and sound painting
This paints a lovely picture made even stronger with its alliteration, Jo. Good to read out loud.
How bright flowers colour our world and elevate the mood.
winter cheer
from barren branches
sunbursts of witch hazel
sunset bells slipping light into the sea

A sublimely beautiful haiku, breathtaking in its quietnesses.
