the rhododendron

He is handsome, he is handsome,
The rhododendron,
He is pink, he is pink,
The rhododendron,

He watches the streets,
The rhododendron,
It perfumes the clouds,
The rhododendron,

He says yes, to the stars,
The rhododendron,
He says yes,to the bees,
The rhododendron,

Each flower is a book,
Who speaks of silence,
He is handsome, he is handsome,
He says YES, to everyone,
The rhododendron. ,

Yann, Ahh!! So nice that you are featuring the rhododendron plant in this one with a work bringing it to life in a personification poem. I think they are so beautiful in the spring of the year. Thank you for sharing this work with us. Sara K

The rhododendron is a stunning bloom. They form groups of varied hues as they mature. Beautiful music with a great refrain.
