My Book Of Trees

Post by DarleneG » Mon Apr 21, 2014 10:04 pm

A golden rain tree caught my eye,
in a book of trees I planned to buy.
I imagined when summer time came,
Floating yellow flower petals,
c

down like rain.
I know I have no yard to see,
a flowering yellow clustered tree.
But still my book of trees is there,
and falling petals jewel my hair.

:hello: THANK YOU, Jolene, for reading and liking this poem. The imagination is powerful. And it gives us pleasure when we need to envision what is out of our reach. And it doesn't cost us anything!
