梅子留酸软齿牙，芭蕉分绿与窗纱。
日长睡起无情思，闲看儿童捉柳花。
宋  杨万里《闲居初夏午睡起·其一》

the residue of the flavor of plum fruits numbed my teeth,
the plantain leaves' greenness spread to gauzed windows.
In the lengthy day I woke up a spiritless and lethargic piece
And I sat watching kids chasing the blooms of willows.

catkin 常用来翻译柳絮。柳花可能还没到絮的程度，所以就用了blooms, 吃不准，也用google看了有没有可以这样说的。
