The wonderful Bradford Pear in Spring

The Bradford Pear
By Franklin Price
2/26/2017

I am  the glorious Bradford Pear. 
My leaves are turning white
I'm lining many streets and lanes
Trimmed and spaced just right

Other trees with branches bare
Show not a leaf in sight
I do not have to share your eyes 
I'm selfish of  the light.

Will be snow-like for just awhile
Then time will change the scene
Turning my leaves from snowflake white
To ones of Springtime green
