by Fragano Ledgister
pale yellow blooms under a silver tree
out of a legend that we do not know
this warm reminder with its pallid glow
absent all anger absent too all glee
for a short season we absorb the show
pale yellow blooms under a silver tree
so magic fills the air and what we see
is all the ground covered in golden snow
a lovely moment if we let it be
pale yellow blooms under a silver tree

ABOUT THE POET ~
I was born in London in the 1950s, and grew up there and in Jamaica. Since 1982, I've lived in the United States. I teach political science in Georgia, and write about political development in the Caribbean. I've had poems published in The Penguin Book of Caribbean Verse in English.
