Spring Lilacs Poem by Duane Botzek

Spring Lilacs



Eyewitness of nature’s loom
When lilacs with long
Locks of blooms
Illumine my kitchen counter
Before the vase
Gathers them…
Scenting, banqueting
Crafting and dining
A living room

Their bright aroma
Shrieks out ascent of May
Accented by green leaves
Where birds nest - engulfed in perfume;
Sun, and color-woven
In lilacs’ purple costume
Springing through
The threaded tapestry
Of natures loom

Hey, that's good, and from a male point of view, excellent. Read mine - Hand Haying - Adeline

Personally I associate purple with lavender - this is my favourite one... For some reason I find the word 'lilac' to be an annoying onomatopoeia, but your poem is very beautiful. I love the visuals, I love its scent... Thank you for sharing...
