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.

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

  9. 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.
