Dogwood Tree

A splash of white rises in blossoms tall
On the Dogwood trees near the stone wall
They have been growing year to year
Now they have bloomed with spring cheer
Decorated in white surrounded by green
They are shining to fill in this beautiful scene

Heidi, I am so remiss in responding to this beautiful expression from you regarding the beauty of the dogwood. I have a memorial poem somewhere in my list of poems where a dogwood tree was planted at the VA Medical Center in my hometown of Dublin, Georgia as a memorial to one of our veterans. The beauty it adds to the grounds of our medical center is a reminder of all of our veterans, myself included, who served God and Country. Thank you for the beauty expressed here for all to see!

Just started to bloom here. Always a delight to see dogwood in bloom. Pity they have no scent. Thank you for reading my dog poem, they (the dogs) are wonderful companions. Best to you. / M

Yes, they are Vijay. These have been growing since a couple feet tall when I moved in and are now very tall and first started blooming this year. Thank you for your comment. I am happy you like it :)
