Dazzling Crepe Myrtles Poem by Walterrean Salley

Dazzling Crepe Myrtles

Rating: 5.0


Like ballerinas in the light—
Ever twirling with delight.

Fuchsia, purple, pink and blue—
They are stunning in any hue

Well-groomed and manicured.
Uniquely fashioned with demure.

Poised in the summer sun—
Smiling, having lots of fun,

Set against a gorgeous sky.
Admired of the passersby.

The crepe myrtle's crimped blooms
Dazzle e'er her beauty looms.

Flower lovers highly dub
Her a favorite among shrubs.

Hi Thomas, Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry to know that you have so much trouble with the crepe myrtles. I have five (of various colors) planted across my front yard, and don't have any problems with them. (But they do need a little pruning.) I anticipate their gorgeous blooms during late summer (August) each year. Again, thanks for sharing your comment, and best wishes.
