Third time is a charm

It is said that third time is a charm. With that thought in mind, I chose "Southern Charm" as my third posting. This poem is one of my most recent writings, and this is the time of year to partake of that charm.

 Southern Charm

 On the edge of summertime when the weather is clear,
 Thousands of small petals are bursting forth in a sphere,
 New broad green leaves are fresh and tender,
 While old woody stems snap with brittle surrender,
 The size of melons, fluffy and light,
 Mesmerizing blooms, a magnificent sight,
 Beautifully displayed in soft pink or soft blue,
 A hydrangea bush is really quite thrilling to view,
 Blooming in harmony with the magnolia tree,
 Hydrangeas have southern charm, wouldn't you agree?
