Emile Pinet Poet Rhyme

Trillium

Three delicate white petals plus three green leaves
describes Ontario's official flower.
Songbirds migrate back to sing in early spring, 
and depending on the rain the ground receives;
trillium carpet the scene with white blossoms.
When icicles no longer cling to the eaves,
fresh fragrances of spring saturate the air.
And snowmen soon slip away like frightened thieves
seeking shelter from a warm April shower.
In early spring, songbirds migrate back to sing 
above tapestries, the white trillium weaves.

William Kelii Kekaula May 3, 2021 at 7:49 PM Intriguing, Emile, leave it to google to plaster awe on my face -- on a separate note, abracadabra becomes tough as reversing is a telltale criterion -- my gratitude for your participation, and my compliments on your well-deserved placement my friend, Aloha!
