 Magnolia Bend By: Noah Eaton 11/20/01  Weeping willows welter in the tangerine rain Lifting their flowering bangs to a spectrum hurricane Belly-dancing to the reggae cypress briars Rattling pineapple tiaras against the daybreak lyre Down beneath where the swan and dolphin bathe A shy mellow magnolia bend hosts Mother Nature’s menagerie Orchids cradle their children, sipping a waft of the morning’s green tea Whilst the crape myrtles father her offspring  Sherbet shadows drip from a citrus sky Where the morning glories answer to Dawn’s melismatic cry Orange groves ripe to the freshness of the season Harmony balancing what we see to our imagination Here I pull up the covers and rest in Her concinnity Watching the pale sky break in serenity Gazing into the eye of a magnolia, kissed by a honeybee As my hair caresses across my face, daydreaming under my palm tree…   "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

What beauty! Just today I admired the very tall and magnificent magnolia tree we have near our house. You weaved magical words and created a wondrous atmosphere here. Love, Margherita  |

I have been daydreaming under palm trees and slacking...but I did adore the sweet read here, noah and your wonderful uplifting style and presentation... I have been into my painting and creativity has drawn me thetre more than the write at the moment. But I do sneak back here to view my buddy's poems when i can. I am sure glad that i did today..I have missed you! big hugs, Cher Poetry is: |

You had to be a southern person in a former life.I have always thought of magnolias as being tree sized bouquets. paladin |
