Magnolia (imitation of Ye Saining's "White Birch")
Author: Lu Li @ Parents Starting Classes
Downstairs in my house,
there is a magnolia,
as if it is smeared with purple powder,
clad in a haze of sunrise.
Powdery branches,
sun-dyed petals fluttering,
double corolla in unison,
pink-purple colorful silk dancing lightly.
In the midst of the clamor of the city,
stands this magnolia,
in the bright spring light,
shaking the pink and purple haze.
The magnolia stumbled beside
the lingering breeze,
which gave the colorful silk dancing branches,
blowing a refreshing fragrance.
