First Blossoming Poui
Down town; what saddened state of buildings
Decaying in years of neglect,
Right alongside new fashionable edifices.
Its almost too much to bear.
Oh! but first blossoming poui tree,
A reason to gasp in morning sunlight, resplendant of old days and new normal ways.

This is Monday WRites 385
You've heard about the Monday Blues
well this is Monday WRites (musing on the definition here of rite, as any customary observance for eg the rite of afternoon tea).
The image of a blossoming poui tree is so lovely, Gillena! I would gasp too! ❤️❤️

Nature finds a way! Lovely image, Gillena. I had to google the poui tree- and yes, well worth a gasp.

I like the contrast of old vs. new and how you link it all to the blossoming of new season.

You are right, Gillena. The sun has patience and tries every morning. We are in the 80F's here in the Houston, TX area nowadays, lots of sunlight.
