The camellias early bloom
in a rush of pink,
immodest and brash beauties,
all rouge and no blush.
The magnolia holds
her buds like velvet tears
suspended in a slow tableau,
their hour not yet come.
Brazen camellia
browns quick as she pinked,
drops in a heap.
Sweet magnolia
opens clean and snow white
face to the light.
