The Blossoming Effect

The Blossoming Effect, mixed media, 18 x 24 in

Falling down from the tree tops in early spring 
White, pink, red colored petals fill the breeze 
Light and soft, gentle, and smooth 
Drift swiftly through the air like lifeless flees. 

Casting down the effects of springtime 
Highness for some 
Cursing itchy watery misery for others 
Celebrated by few, hated by many 
There is no escaping the blossoming effect.
