Today - dreamlike - I smelt the flowers - Geraniums bright red in flats Saw dark purple and white pansies Look at me like newborn pandas Luxuriated in the fire of azaleas And the delicacy of dogwoods in bloom No season in this respect Compares to spring I've watched the crabapple trees Blossom and shift to green The flowering plum I still await lilacs and their fragrance All the hues from white to purple Summer will soon be here Roses will bud and blossom With the scents of romance Each brings thoughts of you Each reminds me how much How very much You've made me appreciate life Each makes me long for you As never before The first duty of love is to listen. |

Uh oh! Pandas and the anticipation of lilaces in the same poem? You must know how I love this. Fantastic job. "I am not now that which I have been." |

Wilfred~ You caught me in blooming surprise !  'No season in this respect Compares to spring I've watched the crabapple trees Blossom and shift to green' I LOVE 'shift to green' ... what lovely imagery you've displayed. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
