Dogwoods take center stage
in the Spring Show,
they wash the mountains
with snow and upstage
the tulips lifting their cups
to drink the morning light.
A chorus of songbirds
perform in the redbud trees
as the trillium join the act
dancing in dainty pink slippers.
Hyatt-Mill Creek laughs
and skips past the Grove Farm
where new-born calves
frolic in the verdant grass.
The rhododendrons and azaleas
line up for the celebration.
An audience dons dark shades,
lifts their heads heavenward
to behold the magical show:
a total solar eclipse.

I hope my blogger friends are having a beautiful spring and were able to see the solar eclipse. We only saw a partial eclipse, but it was still an amazing "sky show."

The eclipse was amazing. Only 99% but well worth watching it. Loved your poem. Janice
I love the picture of the dogwood swaying in the breeze. The poem causes me to realize that the seasons bring beautiful flowers that we look forward to. BVLW
Lovely poem especially for Spring.
We were not in the part of the country where the eclipse could be seen. Unfortunately. Plus it rained that day so I'm not sure how much we would have noticed.
