She stretches high,
skyward with a smartphone
in her hand
to capture a perfect piece
of cherry blossom bliss,
unaware
of the boys behind
gazing at her thighs
successfully
trying to catch
a glimpse
of her bloomers
as the skirt keeps
climbing her legs.
Today we write Quadrille with Lillian at dVerse. The word is bloom and I thought I wanted to have a bit of fun with it.

I am sitting here laughing out loud! George came in to see what was so funny so I read him your poem! You’ve started our our Quadrille Monday with smiles 🙂
Many thanks!
Glad to be able to amuse
Your cheeky cherry blossom bliss made me smile, Björn!
Cheeky … very much so
Cheeky twice over! 😄
🙂
I enjoyed this one, Bjorn! 😀 Especially love the image “a perfect piece of cherry blossom bliss.” 🌸🌸
Wonderfully written, turning a moment of capturing beauty into a picture of adolescent silliness.
Boys will be boys! Its definitely in the air, great poem loved the levity in this one!🩵
its been a while since i have seen the word bloomers being used . made me smile
Nice one😄
much love
peek-a-boo…..YES!!!
😅very cheeky Björn, those ‘bloomers’ made me smile 😃
Oh, my gosh! I can see the boys watching her skirt hike higher and higher! No white bloomers for that girl! 😂
Haha – I am sure this has happened somewhere. Bloomers such a funny word.
A clever response to the prompt! As Kim said, cheeky.
“bloomers” that is fabulous as is the whole poem. I could see it all, and apparently, so could the onlookers 😉
I considered the ‘bloomers’ idea but figured that someone else would do it!
“a perfect piece” – hmm… cheeky.
A lovely playful poem on first loves – Jae
Hehe, Cheeky. I love the whole poem 💜
I love that you made me laugh to start my day! What a bloomin’ fun poem!
This one made me smile!
Delightful change of focus with a moment in time captured. It reminds me of an Impressionist painting. Made me giggle too!
“Cherry blossom bliss”… love it. What a fun poem!
I really like how the moment of her trying to capture beauty feels a bit uneasy because she doesn’t notice what’s happening behind her 😀

Boys are boys! Nice one Bjorn!

Oh I love this, and I was actually reaching up to take pictures of cherry blossom at the weekend so it made me laugh 😂 but no one trying to catch a glimpse of my bloomers – those were the days….!
Surely the favourite past-time of some boys 😦
Don’t think girls indulge in such as much.
Haha! This is enormous fun, Björn. I love it!
Laughed out loud at this one, Bjorn!
Jeepers, peepers, Björn! That cherry blossom bliss is so distracting! 😂
