FLAMBOYANT by MINNIE ELIZABETH OTTO

First Line: THE ROYAL POINCIANA / IN ITS RIOT OF FLAME
Last Line: IT'S BLITHE AND GAY.
Subject(s): POINCIANAS;

The Royal Poinciana
In its riot of flame
Of color deeply hued
Bursts into bloom again.
It has no fragrance
To perfume the day
But while it lasts
It's blithe and gay.
