Lilacs are poetry
their color music,
their sent the story of Spring’s
lacy gardens with wide lawns for
cart-wheeling, swinging, and racing
a waggle tailed white and brown dog,
for playing tag with freckled-faced cousins.
The sweet dappled shade
under the lilac bush is the Home
we dive for to be the first
to announce to the world
I’m Safe!

Not what NaPoWriMo asked for.They wanted Wine and love. Maybe later 😉
Brings my childhood to mind. Funny how those days always appear in memories as sun-dappled and carefree.

Good to know that’s what I intended. Feels good to go to those sun-dappled carefree days 🙂
