JACARANDAS

in april, without warning

you may spy a tiny sprig

a little cluster peeking out

in hopes of growing big

a vision so magnificent

enough to make one cry

jacarandas crowned with rainbows

like a chapel in the sky

in may, there's jubilation

with the sunlight shining through

its fingers are such teasers

playing games of peek-a-boo

a headdress formed of amethyst

with sapphires laced between

jacarandas robed in violet

like a soft bewitching queen

in june, the reign of lavender

is coming to a close

the boughs begin to bow their heads

and slide into repose

the summer's running rampant

and the branches are laid bare

jacaranda blossoms falling

swirling petals fill the air
