Magnolias

This is now an art/poetry blog

I'm tired of politics, and will instead focus on the arts

Majestic magnolia tree
how you do inspire me
lording over the backyard copse;
your redolent nightly knockout drops

Yet, there are these things, about which
are causing me to slightly bitch
you  block views of  bedroom windows
like Sally Murphy's, and the widow Lyndoe's

And there's the matter of foliage fallen
more annoying than ragweed pollen
huge, littering the yard come each September
my Toro mulcher cannot dismember

So it is I've chopped you down
Stripping naked your vistal gown
Oh look! Sally has I see
a brand new bedroom canopy!

*wipes tear from eye* That was beautiful.
Loved the transition from naked gown to canopy bed! So multi-talented, Herr Schlong :D

There are so very few of you who appreciate the finer things in this world. You can stay, but everybody else, get out.

You left out the part about the frickin' grenade-sized rock-hard seed pods.
