Well done... I am from the South and the Dogwoods are beautiful. We even have pink blossomed ones. I like the dotted Swiss reference and the way you have presented this. Good job

    I am also from the South, and we have the pink ones here, too. Aren't they gorgeous? The wealth of them makes dogwoods impossible to avoid. Who wants to? lol
    Thank you for the kudos and the stars. I appreciate your kind words and support.
    With gratitude.

This creates a wonderful image in only 13 words. I loved Trees pop with strung pearls. The second line brings an image of dogwood trees in bloom, a sight I have always cherished. Well done.

I love the picture. Dogwood trees are really beautiful The white of their flowers are a good exchange for the white of the snow.The trees look like they are adorned with dotted Swiss when they are in full bloom. Great work.

    Thank you, elliejean, for such a vivid review. I do so appreciate your words and those stars. I'm thrilled that we agree on the fashion mavens of the spring; they are so gorgeous. I love your point about exchanging those blossoms of pearls for winter snow. Thanks for sharing that.

Dotted Swiss delight-
Dogwood skirts bounce into spring.
Trees pop with strung pearls.

What a beautiful written short verse. Love the strung pearls and dog wood skirts.

Great job
