Crepe Myrtle

The Crepe Myrtle bursts
raspberry exuberance
in early August's burning.
Now's when I miss you.
Soon alder leaves like hearts bleed
red, pass my window churning.

Hi Dale, I'm writing a book about Trees, and was wondering if I could use your Crepe Myrtle poem at the beginning of a chapter, with full credit to you of course. I love this poem! Awaiting your reply. Thanks, Jess

Thanks, Kim. I love crepe myrtle. We have a few around here though not enough in my opinion.
