Shes the southern belle you'll learn to miss, <br />Sweet magnolia blossom, scent in the wind. <br />So much sweeter than a lovers kiss, <br />Though she may try once, and again. <br /> <br />Emerald leaves so regal and fair, <br />Hold the blossoms pearl white face. <br />And their scent is carried on the air, <br />Bringing joy to a different place. <br /> <br />Statuesque and beautiful, and smelling heavenly, <br />They grace the landscape of southern states, <br />Swaying always so graciously. <br />Their beauty not open to debate. <br /> <br />Gentle giants swaying in the breeze, <br />Southern treasures each and all. <br />Not once have they ever failed to please, <br />We should pray they never fall. <br /> <br />6/17/10 29 palms ca.<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sweet-magnolia-blossom/
