purples, whites and pinks
peeking from my fruit trees’ leaves. . . . 
blue bird's sudden trill

Purples



First Rays,
on horizon,
Mesmerising purples,
that radiate and scintillate,
Treasure !!

Early spring crocus
Hardy purple pansies
Tall clusters of verbena
Vines of morning glory
Arabella clematis
Ornamental allium blooms
Lupinesque wild indigo
Slender wild hyacinth
Faithful canterbury bells
Dignified cattleya orchid
Vibrant effervescent cyclamen
Statuesque gladiola
Cosmopolitan heliotrope
Spiked liatris flowers
Grandiflora petunia
Magical mystic merlin
Unfurling crested iris blossoms
Climbing cascades of wisteria

Keeps the nasty old blues away
Why are they called blues
Perhaps some other hue
Like “Purples” would be better, I'd say
