By the Birch Trees by Joan Riordan, my #RAOKblitz Honoree

By the birch trees

           The tulips are a

   bouncy boy band with hair dyed

   a bright, bright yellow.

Past the pond

            Cherry trees throw

            pink petal confetti-

            Flower girls in a wedding.

Along the wall

            Lilacs burble bubbles

            of grape soda.

            A flimsy foam fills the field.
