Spring's eye candy

Rhododendron.  Showy as dahlias.  Profuse.  Seemingly unstoppable.  Reminds me of colorful food from a happy kitchen.  Poems from daily prompts, continuing to scent National Poetry Month.

A lilac reflects on National Poetry Month

April can and can't be the cruelest month but without question, April is National Poetry Month.  Like beauty, words are a reflection and they know how to sail. Words also absorb light.  Continuing in the purple vein (as in prose), consider the eggplant & how deliciously it absorbs olive oil & crafts a perfect sentence with tomatoes & basil & garlic & feta & walnuts.
