• Oh, meet our once-a-year Golden Spectacle!
  • Our Golden Shower tree regularly puts on an annual show.
  • Its blooms, like yellow grapes, are for all our neighbors to see.
  • Its golden petals, like specks of dust, catches the sunlight ...
  • ... And floats gently & settles down over the pavement of our frontyard.
  • Like rivers of dawn light, the flowers cascade down its branches.
  • Our Golden Shower tree stands resplendent with its blooms.
  • "Beautiful, low hanging yellow flowers frowned upon the scene"
  • The yellow flowers fall non-stop like a shower!
  • Poet Shernaz Wadia with her "The Laburnum Tree" was inspired by this tree.
  • Outside my window a laburnum tree depictive of our relationship ...
  • ... Shriveled leaves in trepidation of a gust...
  • ... pendulous flowers harbingers of life interrupted not ended ...
  • ... A pledge of continuity in the golden lacy clusters.
  • "…There is the laburnum, its blond colonnades"
  • "Let fall your golden showers, laburnum tree! ..."
  • "... Break the grey casket of your buds for me ..."
  • "... Soon I shall go where never gold is seen ..."
  • "... And who will be with you as I have been?"
  • Petals of the Dawn
  • The tree stands there – silent and unmoving ...
  • ... Over a golden carpet of its own fallen petals.
  • Farewell, my fair-haired friend! I'll see you again next year.
