Notes About The Poem

Flowering Star Magnolia

Star magnolia does bloom As mockingbird sings in its leafless branches Gray clouds gloom Forsythia Through cold cries, spring slowly advances Nature Controls While sun Shows Star magnolia does bloom Through cold cries, spring slowly advances Shows

I don't do them any more. He never gives me a win even when some of his winners are doing them wrong. Whatever!

Yes, Andrea, my trying to write a minichu. Very difficult form for me to write. I really don't like them at all. Thanks for the visit and yes spring is coming even though they say winter will hit us again with the temperatures dropping starting tonight and it being very cold Sunday night and Monday morning then for a few more days next week. I appreciate the time spent here. Sara K

Sara B., right now my yard looks sad, uncared for which it is. My husband would do some pruning, discarding of fallen limbs, flowers that were killed by the frost, making things neat, but I am no longer able to do that much so it is looking like it needs maintenance. I was hoping on a nice day maybe my grandsons would get out there and help me catch up. Thank you for the visit and nice review. The star magnolia has added beauty in that one place, I thank God for its beauty, and the Japanese Magnolia is trying to bloom. Sara K

Wonderful imagery, especially the lovely bird, the mockingbird and the tree, a magnolia.
