Magnificent

Magnificent Magnolia,
buds slowly developing
over several weeks,
suddenly bursts into bloom.

Flamboyant

Almost in full bloom,
magnificent magnolia blossom,
flamboyant and full of promise,
a beacon of light in dark times.

Magnolia Flush

Second
Magnolia flush;
blossom both bold
and delicate, late summer
beauty.

Delicate Beauty

Magnolia Blossom

 

Magnificent
delicate beauty
yet so bold,
palest pink, purple tinged.
Magnolia.

In the Wings

Magnolia corps de ballet
clusters in the wings;
Degas dancers waiting to burst
onto the stage.

Chill Wind

Magnolia buds
unfurl into the chill wind.
Winter’s dying breath.

January Joy 10

How joyful it is to see
new buds swelling
on my neighbour’s Magnolia tree.

Rejoice

After a cool, misty start,
a glorious spring day.
The magnolia rejoices.

Almost

Almost, but not quite;
Magnolia buds waiting to burst
when the time is right.

New Blooms

Summer surprise;
my neighbour’s magnolia
blooms anew.
