Whipped Cream Trees
White-blossomed trees
line the street
appearing overnight
like a dream.
They look as if
they've been festooned
with cotton lace, popcorn,
or maybe...whipped cream.
Branches make canopies over the walk:
fragrant, delicate, and sweet.
A slight breeze stirs up a few white petals
that float down like wishes,
that float down like wishes,
drifting across the path at our feet.
Beautiful, Connie!
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty and descriptive!

you captured the glorious canopy perfectly - in words and pics.
ReplyDeleteNow, the sequel is the never-ending sweep up of said flowers. They get everywhere
A lovely poem, Connie, for what looks like a beautiful street to drive down with the trees in full bloom. Hope these last for a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteYour words add even more beauty to those photos. Very nicely done, Connie.

ReplyDeleteHello Connie - saw your name at Nikki's (Sarah) blog and thought I must visit you!
ReplyDeleteLoved this poem, it really suits the photo's well.

Such descriptive words of these gorgeous trees. Sometimes it looks like snow under these trees as the petals fall. I hope you are able to enjoy walks now that the weather has improved.
