Shades of Purple

Shades of Purple

Canterbury Bells
planted in a row
Violets scattered
everywhere they grow
Lilacs sweet lilacs
the best scent in Spring
Fresh Hyacinths bloom
in a purple ring
Clematis climbs up
a broken barn door
while Vinca spreads
across God’s green floor.
Shades of purple bring
pure perfume to me
Lavender, Periwinkle
What a sight to see.
