Day 43 Waving Pointing

The quiet world waves

from six feet; some will point out

when the lilacs bloom.


The poem above is a haiku: learn how to write one here [Kenn Nesbitt ] and here [The Writing Cooperative ].

  1. I’m soooooo excited for the lilacs to bloom here, but in the meantime… The tulip buds show their colors and they WANT to open… the magnolia tree has bloomed full, and the flowering almond has buds that are ready to POP! I’m excited for when they all go POP! POP! POP!

    • Hi Joy, I’d love to see a flowering almond. We have two magnolia trees in our neighborhood and I love them. Some people also have dogwood, which are so lovely with their four petals. We have a type of dogwood that blew in on a seed one year and took hold. We let it grow. Pop! is right — we do enjoy the spring when it pops its bright and soft colors for us to enjoy. Take care… ~ Sheri
