The Seasons of My Favorite Front Yard Tree

At its zenith, its strong lush limbs embrace the summer’s birds. It flames scarlet -then tangerine - till extinguished by late fall’s chill. Fragrant perfect buds burst forth in radiant white at Easter time. For Debbie Guzzi's Trinity Poetry Contest

A charming poem to describe the seasons, Andrea. At long last, we are back to square one. The issue of word "fries" remains unresolved so it remains un-edited. As I have love and respect for you I will make a last attempt of consulting a good Rhyming Dictionary to see finally a rhyming word even close in meaning of what I am wanting to convey. Changing the rhyme scheme will be a murder of an aesthetically charming Quatrain. -Mohammad

Trees are like the nerve endings, or beginings, of the earth's body - I would like to reincarnated as a tree, far away from factories - I love to see the trees' bark deveopl that patina mold - J.A.B. %
