The Laurels

by fogglethorpe

Laurels
cannot speak
but they can rustle
in the wind;

laurels
cannot fawn
but they seduce me
with perfume;

laurels
cannot teach
but they abide
the desert clime.

This is a fine piece Hugh, I was looking at the laurels at the back of my place today and thinking about writing about them. the second stanza is my favourite. They certainly have a wonderful scent when they bloom.

    Thanks D..I'm glad the forums were helpful. I have always found them to be so.

    And don't be hard on yourself. This particular tree might only grow in certain regions.

    Always glad to hear from you..-H
