Spring Once More. (Sedoka)

Spring Once More:

Clouds like a white vale,
appearance soft like cotton
in a background of light blue.

Spring in profusion,
all the flowers in full bloom.
Love is indeed in the air.

    This s a nice gentle sedoka, it works well to show the mood of the moment.
    My only dislike is the simile used in line 1, traditionally in Japanese style poetry similes wouldn't fit with the tone as they are generally formal and direct.

    But a good piece non-the-less.
