[Critique Group 1] reminder and leonard's submission

[tuchyner5 at aol.com]

Hi group1,




Just a reminder that your piecews are due tomorrow. Also you will find my submission below.

----------




Elaeagnus




 


What is that floral scent that fills the air, 



manifesting its presence within 



sixty yards of its origin,



in the late autumn cooling breezes? 



A more alluring aroma 



you will probably never know. 




 


In a back yard, hiding the north side 



of an ancient corrugated shed, 



is a plant termed a Russian olive tree,



though no olive ever graced its branches.



Otherwise called an Elaeagnus. 



Puts out tiny white blossoms in fall 



broadcasting, “Last chance to gather nectar 



before the harsh winter gales do blow.”




 


Thirty years ago, I chanced upon this plant,



a small bush-like variety, 



which was intended as a hedge, 



and served me well in that purpose. 



When I moved, I took two with me, 



with their wonderful heavenly fragrance,



to ease me into the cold of winter. 




 

Hi group1,
Just a reminder that tomorrow pieces are due. Plus you will also have my own submission.
See you in a week.
