And They're Still Blooming

.

                                            


                                            Your magnolia tree
                                            filters the afternoon sun—
                                            I carved our names in its trunk
                                            Those beloved flowers
                                            impregnate the sudden breeze—
                                            You are miles away from here

    OMG...I love this poem, and your picture just inhances!!! Hey, by the way, I had a great laugh that you remembered my postman!!! Yikes!! Oh lordy..., and that Adam and Eve contest.... fun, but it's a wonder I didn't scare you off!!!! Such a stalker I was...and what a terrible free verse (or whatever)....not exactly my greatest effort, but you, I must say, were a great sport!! I'm so glad to see you back!! :)

    Magnolias in bloom do smell quite sweet. The aroma can travel a good long way. You have described them well here.
