Star Magnolia in the winter cold
Can you give me any hope to hold

There on your branches, buds of silver
In this cold, I feel them shiver

But they are giving me a shred of hope
That soon spring will surely kaleidoscope...

stepping outside into the bright sun
the sound
hear it! geese headed 
north
while the star magnolia has 
only 
begun to open its swollen buds
and
more daffodils' blossoms appear
alas!
could not see any geese in a 
V
headed north
only the sighing of pines stirred
by northerly breezes
     ...

The balmy fragrance invaded the spectacular garden
     A royal star magnolia in full bloom enthralled the central strip.
          Visitors felt elated, a sight no heart could harden.
                Onto a pond, a willow tree allowed its leaves dip,
                      Daisies, roses, lilies and yarrow enhanced one’s trip....

Bradford pears decorated in white
Forsythia in her golden gown
Star Magnolia flowers droop out of sight
As many daffodils' petals have fallen down

Pouring rain did damage to tender flowers
Some fell to the ground or turned brown
Those left add delight to my eyes and give powers
To heal winter's blahs and breakdown     ...

As the blossoms upon the star magnolia
Begin to fall, those blueberries now enter full bloom
The pear tree has some white blossoms
Peeking through tender green leaves doomed

The weather prediction is for freezing
No one let the red-bellied woodpecker know 
Nor the volunteer butterbeans that came up
Since the warm spring weather showed   ...

Wishing
for a kaleidoscope of floral blossoms
even though 
it is winter

Spring
will come
ushering in warmth
even yesterday one bloom

A daffodil
bright yellow
trying to outshine
the sun

Star magnolia
blossoms sagging
from cold nights
but noon sun draws them out

They're caught
in the middle
of spring chasing
winter away...

The bright illumination rose
Like a chandelier's light
Casting yellow through the dark pines
Adorning needles bright

A winter sunrise to remember
The Bluebirds in orange vest
Dancing next to Star Magnolia
Whose white blossoms are best

Nesting begins in earnest soon
The doves know when to coo
House Finches in dating color
Quiet nights for day flew  ...

Don't ask lovely Star Magnolia
Nor blueberries' bell blooms
Japanese Magnolia won't tell
Lest quickly seasons assume

Who browned the awesome pink blossoms
Or turned camelia squishy
Was it the brown nervous squirrel
With his dancing tail swishy

It must have been Bobcats at night
Who climbed in blooming trees  
Then painted tips with brown markers
Not the northerly breeze


Maybe unfinished???...
