Bloomin Pear
The gnarled squat pear tree
beset with green gold suckers
not pruned off this year
is adorned with hundreds
of tight white blossoms
ready to spring open
into a dazzling tiered frock
that will dance in the breeze
welcome the bees
and lead the parade
of blooming trees and bushes
at the front of the Widow Wyile’s house
Two days after
this soul nourishing observation
the dress is fluffed
in full white twirl
