Memories of Loves Past

To improve those ancient feelings regarding love that’s past—
all of those sad endings for love that didn’t last—
relate the facts as comedy. Banter about life’s failings.
Laughter serves you better than retroactive wailings!

Actually, the past love I’m fighting sad feelings about today is the 22 year old Royal Poinciana tree that they are cutting down today. It had root rot and was in danger of falling so it had to be done. So, unbeknownst to me, I gave myself good advice in writing this poem which started out to be about love of another variety.  Here is the tree in all its former glory:

Prompt words today are ancient, improve, feelings, related, banter

Yesterday I took this photo of the beautiful mushrooms growing out of its base of the huge Royal Poinciana tree in my front yard. Included in my gallery are some of the blooms of the tree that I published the other day. As beautiful as they are,  the mushrooms are growing there because the roots are decaying and unfortunately I have to cut it down, along with the huge cactus in my backyard. More about this later. Nature gives and takes away.

Although my Royal Poinciana trees have not even grown buds yet, the ones in Guadalajara were in full bloom. This huge fully-packed tree was in Revolution Park near our hotel.
