Exceptional a celebratory octogram Octograms : Each Bud and Bloom by adewpearl

They wait to burst upon the scene, each bud and bloom, with sleeves of pink and leaves of green their bright costume. As breezes warm, the world's their stage, as winter turns its final page, and they release their sweet perfume, each bud and bloom. For months they huddled quite unseen, the snow their tomb, but now each flake has been swept clean by springtime's broom. Each blossom in each field's bouquet takes part in nature's outdoor play, dispelling all our glum and gloom, each bud and bloom. Recognized Author Notes The octogram is a form invented in 2009 by Fanstorian Sally Yocom. It consists of two octets with a syllable count of 8/4/8/4/8/8/8/4. The rhyme scheme is ABABCCBB ABABDDBB.
