Dogwood, Iris, and Dogs ― Day 29 of NaPoWriMo 2015

 

 Pink Dogwood Tree

 

Walking along the sidewalk

When we came upon "this tree"

O, oh, oh, raved another

Pink dogwood tree winding down

 

Blooming still 'til season's end

In full bloom earlier on

More pink than green this dogwood

Always, blooms til season ends

 

 

 

Blue Beagle Iris

 

Came upon this flower bed

Iris, blue, trace of purple

Likes afternoon shady spot

Just like my old beagle dog

I am linked with Magaly Guerrero at the Real Toads, Frog-Cups in New York City
and with  NaPoWriMo 2015, both for Day 29 of National Poem Writing Month

 

Magaly said, "… and when I was almost home (walking from her NYC dentist), I noticed a tiny plot of frog-cups or Fritillaria meleagris. ... we will write a new poem that will include a flower named after an animal or a bird named after a flower."
