Pink Hyacinths
Pink hyacinths scent the room
bulbs planted indoors at Thanksgiving
find their way to the surface.
They rise lanky and tall green shoots
followed by clusters, deep green tinged rosy pink
opening with warmth of sun glow thru the window.
The sun fades behind gray snow filled clouds
but the hyacinths bloom anyway
tall and stretching up to the light.
In between fading poinsettia leaves
bold red and white florets
set a background of colorful display.
The scent rises embracing the room
and a whiff of spring aroma hangs in the air
perfuming a fragrance sweet and enticing.
