Notes About The Poem

Lilac

how i love when lilac shrubs burst into bloom
awaking the world with bold perfume
generous endowed bouquets
melt away dull greys
bring to life
sunshine
banning strife
as we all rejoice
stirring feelings giving voice
announcing finally summer's here
lilac blooms bring us such long awaited cheer

Sam Kauffman June 2, 2020 at 3:46 PM Morning Line! Lilacs are surely a harbinger of spring - difficult to grow in northern California as they need a cold snap to bloom - but some are survivors. I grew up with lilacs and love them. Now I have a white lilac that does bloom. A rare and welcomed treat. Congratulations! Sam Kauffman June 2, 2020 at 6:56 PM They are and planted next to the driveway. Every time I get in and out of the car their fragrance is a special gift! Your poem brings back all of memories of the perfume of lilacs. Line Gauthier June 2, 2020 at 6:08 PM That's wonderful, Sam. I hope your white lilacs are fragrant ~
