  1. Heidi, Your video and poem about the cherry blossoms were fabulous. I really loved it and hearing you, the poet, reading your poem aloud, adds so much to the experience. I love the alliteration in several of your lines. My favorite time of year loving blossoms and color after drab greyness of winter's end. Such a wonderful project, Michelle. I have said over and over how much I have enjoyed this and learned from each poet and their video! Thank you all.

  2. What a delight, Heidi, and a perfect poem for me to hear today. The cherry tree in my back yard is petaling the patio this morning! Thanks so much for sharing.

  3. Love this! (And love how your sweater and earrings match the blossoms.) We also had a "petal blizzard" yesterday. :)

  4. Heidi, there is much poetic goodness in your video and your delivery of a wonderful poem that I have not heard before. I want to visit that neighborhood you spoke about next year. It sounds so lovely and I would love to see the cerry blossom petaling across the streets. Congratulations to you for your performance and Michelle for her gift to the poetry community.
