Came Into Blossom I chanced upon lilacs today
The encounter was brief
But extremely sweet
Lilac’s breath is exquisite
I lingered in the fragrance
I didn't want to step away
So I picked a bouquet
To cling to the pleasure
I filled a vase for display
The aura pervaded the house
The purple flowers chased
the gray of rain cloud days
off and away.

Dellena - This speaks Spring and its first floral encounters in a unique yet familiar way.
Kind of Emily Dickenson-ish to me. Very nicely done. It fits well in the idyllic genre.
I like the structure. It sort of creates a winding path through the flowers...
Peace
Gene

My lilacs are just beginning to bud and I am praying this is a good season for them for they certainly do fill the air with a lovely aroma; one can almost feel the color purple lets say. I enjoyed the beauty presented with your words my friend and I ache for mine to begin to bloom; bursting open for the birds to enjoy and for me to enjoy as well. What a grand time of the year, Spring, newbirth, new life. Again, thanks for posting, your words just flowered and flowed so nicely bringing forth beauty, aroma and images galore. God bless, Claire

Hi D....this is a lovely poem and one that I will remember in the days to come before my lilacs bloom. A bouquet on my dinning room table will fill the entire house with a beautiful fragrance. I love..."Lilacs breath is exquisite"....such a beautiful combination of words. You have expressed yourself very well with this poem.
cheers....Marilyn

Dellena,
Very picturesque and easy to read. You've encompassed so much in such short stature. A house with the scent and view of fresh floral always seems a bit brighter.
