Magnolias
March 11, 2011
Snowcapped spring
frozen in time.
Pink, half burst blossoms
look cold and lonely
beneath the overcast sky.
Stubborn boughs stand fast,
refusing to bow into the wind.
The magnolia's rich colors
undiluted by winter.
Had it been real, I would be
impressed;
but those sleek gloss
streaks of paint are evident
in the sturdy trunk, the strong
branches that support imaginary
flowers. This is nature-
fabricated by the human hand.
