Lashed Lilac

Through the gate of the dale
flew a garrulous gale
tearing through branch and leaf.
We watch; wait for relief.

Leaves and twigs lie scattered;
blooms from the lawn gathered
into a bowl, displayed,
admired before they fade.

Although Hawai'i has frangipani and jasmine blossoms, the fragrance of lilacs at Brandon Castle - and in Malmo, Sweden, still stimulate my brain cells! Aloha! Rico

Glad to refresh your memories Rico. I write some of my poems onto pictures, as this one, and save them onto pdf files but sadly Poetry Soup won't allow pdf.
