LILACS: An Original Poem



Here is a poem about lilacs from an unpublished collection of memoir poems that I wrote titled A Home for the Seasons. My maternal grandparents had lots of lilac bushes growing on their property. I also had a row of lilac bushes that grew in my yard. I loved the sweet scent they gave off when they were in bloom. I’ve been thinking about planting a couple of lilac bushes in my backyard.

LILACS
By Elaine Magliaro



Tall lilacs border


my grandparents’ driveway.


In May they bloom


with clusters of lacy lavender flowers


that fill the air


with the scent


of remembered springs.
