magnolia

Goddess Of The Moon

outstretched
you offer your beauty
to the whole world

Beauty’s Second Duty

perfectly pretty
the petaled
mulch

Delectatio

nothing is neutral
everything
is on its way

latticework
of bud and branch
holding up blue sky

Magnolia Edging

picture perfect
the world
framed by winter

Woozy Beauty

a blooming tree
the blush of pink
intoxicating beauty

Beacon

in May’s blue sky
liberty’s torch
bears magnolia’s flame

Behold

the bravery
of the April flower
a beauty’s brevity

Illuminati

before bursting into being
possibilities illuminate
the breath of every second

Reminiscence

moonlight magnolia
her fragrance
a memory of heaven

Magnolioideae

before the existence of bees
the magnificence of magnolias
relied on the kindness of beetles

Each Moment’s Bloom

so sweet the day
the air brand new
each moment blooms before me

Exaltation

up, up, up
magnolia
on the rise

Exalted

morning light
never fails
to lift us

Enchantment

a poetry of branches
and music in the light
a pause before the blooming
sweet magnolia May

Flower Shower

Magnolia rains
her beauty
on to the lawn.

esprit de corps

Her tutu a flutter
magnolia dances to the wind song
the tree an assemble en tourant, grand

Sweet Magnolia

The bright blue sky bites with cold.
Buds hunker down waiting for a warmer sun
to shed their fuzzy jackets and unfurl petaled perfection.

Innocence

The magnolia sends forth her first blossoms
into the rare air of March that feels like May.
The sunshine calls and she answers yes in unfurling petals.

Magnolia in Winter

Your stylish furry jacket protects
your tender fragrant blossoms
from the elements of winter.
