Question:

Description of a magnolia tree? Anybody here a creative writer?

A beautiful way to describe a magnolia tree?
For my english paper, i am trying to think of a way to describe the magnolia tree with pink flowers in front of a beautiful victorian house. the tree could also have yellow flowers if you can describe that.

Additional Details:

A ravishing magnolia tree sways in the summer breeze, a nest of red cardinals fluttering into and out of its branches.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

A tip: don't put ravishing. Get rid of that. We don't want general descriptions telling us WHAT to think. We want to see the things that make us THINK it's beautiful. Put something about the sunlight filtering through the leafy branches, or the shadows playing amongst the fluttering leaves. Make the cardinals flit in and out of the branches. And be sure to add a little about fragrance, breezes, and whatnot. Remember to give something for each of the senses! (Hearing, Smelling, Touch, Sight, etcc)

And...nests don't fly. I'm sorry, but 'tis true.

Good luck!
