Jim Slaughter Poet Haiku

Now Winter's Gone

Regardless of what the calendar says, for me, Spring is here when the Bradford Pear trees start to bloom...


Glad now winter's gone
Bradford Pear greets each new day
Gaily dressed for spring

Silpika Kalita March 17, 2024 at 7:04 PM Nature never fails, aesthetic eyes with penchant for the evergreen always . A blessed and blissful read Jim Slaughter March 18, 2024 at 10:34 AM Thank you, Silpika.

Ilene Bauer March 14, 2024 at 1:33 PM lovely poem, jim, but i just googled this tree (never heard of it before) and found out that, although it looks beautiful, it has an offensive odor. is that true? Jim Slaughter March 15, 2024 at 10:51 AM Thanks, Ilene. I saw this tree for the first time when I moved to Missouri, in 2003. Apparently they don't have them in Texas. i have never noticed any odor, and they are all over town here.
