My Magnolia tree is just spectacular <br />In the south is where it originally grew <br />So tall and sturdy and proud <br />I know you would think so too <br /> <br />Underneath each leaf I’ve found <br />Is just like velvet to touch <br />I’ve seen them in southern yards <br />And I loved them so very much <br /> <br />Enormous flowers decorate the trees <br />In an old-fashioned kind of way <br />They always make me smile <br />I wish they could forever stay <br /> <br />I’ve enjoyed them at plantations <br />All throughout the southern states <br />As I’ve traveled ‘round the country <br /> A lovely statement they make <br /> <br />Now one adorns my entire landscape <br />At least it seems so to me <br />I brought it to Washington State <br />My magnificent Magnolia tree!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/magnificent-magnolia-tree/
