Dogwood

A Dogwood tree I planted In a sunny spot While the birds were singing And the sun was oh so hot It reminded me of you Love White and pointed flowers And oh so fragrant its smell The nostrils infused for hours The bees and butterflies Wafted gracefully by To sip of its pollen None of them too shy And oh how lovely A Dogwoods' flowers Like white stars pinned on a tree Picked from the skies at night And glued so gracefully Of all the trees I admire Love I truly love Her so Except in the winter When her blossoms Disappear beneath the snow.

I too love dogwoods. I planted last fall and it it growing so far. They are very hard to keep alive. I love your poem and will keep it to read if my tree should live.

Thank you Daniel. There is a pelleted fertilizer you can feed every six months that is very good. Occuvite?? It works great for flowering bushes shrubs etc.

Such a pleasant rhyme Kelli..It was if I was lying right there in the grass watching.
