A Pink-Hued Tree

I know that every time I see The pink-hued blossoms of a tree There’s no way I can feel depressed, For this is Nature at her best. The rosy petals gently sway When breezes blow and if they stay Some flowers flutter through the air And near the trunk add color there. Throughout the spring, these trees retain Their beauty and will thus remain The muse for rhyming poetry Like Kilmer wrote, improved by me!

I’m so glad you noticed that, Gershon! I hesitated to put it in, but I was forced to memorize “Trees” in school and never liked it. I like my version better (and am delighted you agree!)

We have pink dogwoods here among others. They are indeed beautiful. Here they are the first to bloom every spring. A joy to read today, Ilene.
