Sweetly scented and late to bloom,
Petals unfurling shyly, blushing,
Cautious of not emerging too soon,
Her heart.

Playing around, not brilliant but wanted to get back into writing again whilst out here and had to start somewhere! Inspired by, weirdly, some of the early blooming cherry blossoms out here.
Thanks for reading 🙂

P.S. First post on travel blog is up, link is on the side 🙂
Loved the line: “petals unfurling shyly, blushing…” And also the detail: “late to bloom…” Depending on interpretation, there are so many interesting backstories which could explain that one phrase!

You’re welcome! 🙂 and Oh yes, I remember Nita! 🙂 I feel like so many girls will find her situation relatable. Sadly so many of us have to be Nita at some point in our lives. But getting through it and coming out on the other side a better person despite everything is what counts… 😊 And that’s where the story has the potential to be really inspirational 😊
