Sunday Sonnet!

Grand candelabra of magnolia
Illuminate small garden, hedge enclosed,
As if some visitation from afar
Were sent to render flora, all, exposed;
Resplendent hues, enriched by pristine white,
In dulcet harmony create a tune,
The most discerning eyesight to delight,
Idyllic for reposeful afternoon.
Salubrious vernal sun its rays dispense
With unselective equanimity;
Imbibe kind Nature’s sheer benevolence,
Embrace its prodigal felicity.
There is so much for senses to enjoy,
If only we would care them to employ!

  5. Love that image of magnolia as candelabra – inspired! – and the assonance ‘grand candelabra’. I too could sit and look at a magnolia tree in blossom for a very long time.

  6. Lovely poem … and indeed, we do all need to slow down, come up out of the rabbit hole long enough to enjoy a bit of nature. Thanks! Hugs!!!
