天元三月櫻花開

吉野花紅又透白

爭奇奪艷惹人愛

遊客如織絡繹來

                                                                      一樹花蕊喜見春

                                                                  交錯枝幹只見花

                                                                        有花有苞還有蜂

                                                                         老幹新枝花更美

                                                                     含苞待放情萬種

                                                                   爭奇奪艷招蜂蝶

                                                                      花芯有蜜蜂自來

                                                                花團錦簇映藍天

                                                                     花滿枝垂迎客賞

                                                                       虎頭猛蜂也來訪

                                                                  春到花開帶福來

                                                                    春花盛開黃蝶到

                                                                       紅花也得有綠葉

                                                                       風情萬種任君賞

                                                                  粉花在前綠葉後

                                                                        綠林當中吉野綻

                                                                     數大為美花成海

                                                                     婷婷玉立獨一格

                                                                   花開花謝明年見

後記：

     淡水北新莊「 天元宮」吉野櫻花，在每年的三月初綻開，去年的三月12日我去賞櫻，今年的三月十一日我再度前去賞櫻，今年的櫻花感覺上開得比去年更多，雖是平日依舊遊客如織，殺掉不少攝影客的底片。目前櫻花盛開達九成，還沒有去欣賞者，得趕在這幾天去觀賞，再過10天可能就謝得差不多了。

      今年天元宮的櫻花季，和往年一樣吸引人，往天元宮前的步道左側，去年還是一片老蓮霧園，我曾入內欣賞據說已種植近50年的老蓮霧樹，可惜今年被砍伐殆盡，路邊擺滿了攤販，把本來很美的整體畫面給破壞了，髒亂加上吵雜的叫賣聲，顯得相當突兀，心情多少受到一些影響，是唯一美中不足的。
