True personification here. Or should I say 'personalitization.' You've given these sunflowers some real spunk and moxie. Super! :) Gershon

This poem is lovely with an enriched personification. They certainly are bright in color and size.

thanks for those lovely comments, dear Hilda. Yes, sunflowers are bright. We planted sunflower seeds in our back yard...two weeks now till germination. Looking forward to seeing their sunny faces. Wishing you a pleasant evening, hugs, Sara

Like children and kittens -- enjoy their days of youth...and for God's Sake, let's not age them prematurely! Sad, misguided world. You say a lot with few words.

I share your thoughts, Joe. Yes, the world is misguided and, unfortunately sad (and frightening). Have a great evening, Sara
