Blusher on the face of the forest;
cosmetically enhancing
like the pink cheeks of a lover.
A summer Christmas tree,
sunlight jangling in its branches.
Its fruit will be generous; sweet.
But I would feast
on the blossom
until my eyes are satiated
and my palate brushed dry.

Before anyone asks; 'Palate' is meant to be spelled that way (could it be a pun?) lol.

Thanks Tina, it truly is a wonderful sight in full bloom; I defy anyone not to stand and admire. Glad you enjoyed. ;)

Hi Sarah, Lucky you; I have to travel a bit to see one of these wonderful works of nature, wish I had one outside the back door. I am told the soil here where I live is to acidic. Thanks for reading ;)

Thanks Magic, not sure that I have any particular style; I'm a Philistine, who just sort of writes it down as it feels...if I'm lucky, it works lol. ;)
