Impudence

As the thunder

Immoderate,

cherry blossoms
kiss my face

art, the magic

I play'd the hand

art, the Magic,
gently drawn into the net

Today's OED word of the day for the erasure poem is 'cheater.' Am I the only person who didn't know 'cheaters' were slang for eye-glasses?

enlightenment —
from behind the wall
cherry blossoms

fluttering

sunday afternoon —
mobiles and cherry blossoms
fluttering in the breeze
