Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

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!

Caren Krutsinger April 24, 2023 at 10:32 AM I love the pink and red trees myself, so lacy and flowery and pretty! Like this poem.

Gershon Wolf April 15, 2023 at 8:37 PM Ha, ha! I agree (with your line 'Improved by me!'). ~ Onward and Upward Ilene Bauer April 16, 2023 at 1:10 PM 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!)
