Having the Nerve to Bloom

Some of us call it a Magnolia, and some call it a Tulip Tree, but whatever we call it,

this tree has the nerve to bloom

when a hard frost could arrive at any time

and blacken all those blossoms.

 

Somewhere I have a poem about this time of the year, but I can’t find it.

Will add it to the post later if I do.
