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

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!
