a golden Poui distracts

Can't think of a best way of being distracted than a symbol of Nature's endurance.

Such a lovely image that reminds of a tree that used to distract me by my old library. Thanks for the poem & the memory. :)

Such a glorious crown of gold, these scented blossoms on your precious town tree!

I had to look up "Poui" and was pleased I did...which made your piece, perfect sense.

I'd love to be distracted by such beauty. Have a happy week.

Wendy Bourke said...

This got me googling Woodford Square. What a fascinating history. Loved the way you placed the Golden Poui (which, I gather from my googling - in very much associated with Port of Spain) against that history, here. This is very cleverly crafted and - really - a stunning haiku.

dsnake1 said...

yes, these flowers would distract anyone passing by. what a lovely haiku. :)
i had to look up "poui", whether it is comparable to our rain trees. the poui definitely flowers better, by a long mile.

hyperCRYPTICal said...

A wonderful distraction Gillena.
