The Victorian House By The Small Dogwood Tree
There stands the Victorian house by the small dogwood tree I planted at the age of nineteen thinking of a colorful spring; what a subtle joy palpitating inside at a short distance, before Lassie starts barking: her hearing is sharper than mine! I stop walking with a curious reflection: who built this house by a busy highway, was it a desolate...

You Are Still Beautiful
There is a dogwood tree planted in our front lawn. It reveals its beauty with each glorious dawn. It was pretty when young, but lovelier with age. Majestic white flowers, like modeling on stage. You gave your body so our children could be born. I know you think you look rotund and very worn. Yet, to me you are still as...

Premium Member The Dogwood Flower
I was a youngster when my sight began to realize, When I viewed a tree of flowers that grew across the road. Whereas this time of beauty was forming within my eyes, Where the shapes and lines are made from the clay that memories mold. A flower on the tree branch seemed to bloom before my sight. Sacred bloom was...

Premium Member A Day In May
May fashions days it will unveil; and there exists one which I hail. For me, it stands out from the rest- for proof May came- it is the best. Outside my window, grows a tree that blooms each year- now fifty-three. When dogwood blossoms open wide- May bares her beauty- amplified.

Premium Member To the Dogwood He Came
Down hot sunny lane came pink robin, With a beautiful song in his heart! He perched on a dogwood in my garden, A moment of rapture, soon to depart. Blooming days in my garden of delight. The afternoon dragged waiting for him; And he came singing long before night, Like a rainbow's appearance on a whim!...

Premium Member The Dogwood
The blood and lapis daylight sets in ether. How the mind resets brutality of winter chill with February's codicil; what gossamer a dream begets. I hear the crickets in the dark, their clicking takes up where the lark has been. The flagrant marigolds have huddled into twilight's folds, on sanguine nightfall to embark. The eastern zephyrs fall and rise with rapid movement of my eyes and echo...
