spinning and roaming,
pure as white in the warm blow—
summer came with snow.
Author notes
Have you ever seen fluff of kapok flying in the air?
I felt so moved when watching this scene....

Hi treelhs
Yes, kapok flying through the air is like snow and I have seen this many times especially when I was young but I do not know that there is kapok in China and that it is known as kapok there too.

Hahahhhh...
Yes, there is kapok in China, especially in the the subtropical zone.

amazing, as always
Glad to see you writing again.. =D and as skillfully as before. The last line here is amazing, but has six syllables, so I suggest you delete the word "a" so that the syllable count is correct, and it would be more concise too... You're very good at writing haiku, my dear treelhs.. but I would suggest writing in different forms... I would love to see what you can do with a sonnet form, where your creativity will be more free (and they'll be more room for the imagery you use, which is why I read your poems!). you astound me, dear, you use english so well. =D call me sometime...

Thank you very much for your constructive comment, my dear Shya!
I'll try a sonnet soon.
BTW, I forget where I've left your telephone number. I must find it as soon as possible!

Thank you.
Kapok is a tropical tree which will bear flowers in March or April. The flowers are as red as blood during that time, and then their seeds will come into being. The seeds are just look like fibre, which can be made into paper we use later.
