Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

The lilac bush,
next to the school
had no blossoms, no blooms,
none below their reach,
only high in the canopy,
the boughs hanging over the sidewalk
no lilacs below five feet
from eager fingers
plucking them for teacher,
for mom, for their fragrance
well grazed bushes
denuded of blooms
each year, in its turn
