Under The Jacaranda Poem by Janice M Pickett

Under The Jacaranda



This is just a
story about my home town
A place where I grew up some years ago now gone to rack and ruin
Bulawayo in Zimbabwe Rhodesia Africa
Is a street which spans around 2 miles long
When you travel you will get there
It fills your heart with song
Birds sing with you
cheerily chirping
happily
on
the
branch
of a
tree
The
mighty
Jacaranda
Stands
out
quite
majestically lining
the road on each side
purple flowers covering the ground
No-where on this earth a nicer picture could be found

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

The sage says 'you can't go home' But there's something unknown Which lingers in the mind, An image of another kind It's of a kinder, gentler place One which has a saving grace. For you it's under the Jacaranda tree A special place to share and be For a moment back in time With friends, and memories, Oh so sublime. Thanks for sharing! s
