Raintree Me You come into spring first of green a gift you were, Johnny’s dream branches spread in sheer delight in June you become golden bright  Legend holds that those who may find Golden Raintrees shall grasp in kind all their magical dreams come true so sit with me, enjoy the view Inviting birds, bees, butterflies a harbor of health, wealth and wise soon golden rains shall come forth and hearts of paper lanterns bring northern  Winds to come, blow all away your work is done, you shall not stay but spring is promise, soon reborn for legends hold, and you are sworn To bring luck, good fortune, all one’s dreams as secrets are held in your golden beams  for in the raintree’s heart of gold hearts is where happiness shall always start ~*~ 29 August 01 revised 8 August 02 Photograph by KRJ *Note:Enchantress had never heard of raintrees, and I think she thought they were a figment of my imagination...I just wanted her to see what I get to see, every day... |

Karilea, I have never heard of raintrees, either. This is beautiful. And, I love the poem, too. Thank you for letting me see the raintree. |

  YAY!!! Oh my gosh, I have heard of raintrees but I very rarely ever get to see them and looking at your beautiful pictures I indeed have never seen ones this majestic! (smiles) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

Well alright! I live and learn here as I haven't seen one either...hmmmm..they are beautiful. Do they change color in fall? Very interesting and the poem is attributed to a fine lady by a fine poetess indeed. Sincerely Reg |

Karilea---we have a golden rain tree...I love it almost as much as the mimosa. Thank you for reminding me of its beauty. |

Well, then, it seems I wrote this for many, as opposed to one...so glad you all took a moment to enjoy these wonderful [apparently drought resistant] beauties with me! Thank you! |
