Lilac tree, very pretty...

Sit awhile in my lofty arms,
morning sun warms my velveteen chair 
Tiny faces debuting yawn -
From violet to thistle to eggplant to plum,
lacy blossoms flounce ruffled skirts,
hang from my branches nicely turned
Hummingbirds dash by your cheek blush rose,
seek out my romantic fragrance to drown in
Bees kick up pollen powder for 
your shiny pug nose 
Seasonal rains nourish me; 
stout leaves serve as suitable aircraft, 
exchanging seeds with other corner gardens
Swallows return to see petals 
falling to the ground below, 
providing soft landing for angels arriving on whispers
So place my blooms in a vase...
or in your auburn hair with a bow
