Hello Susan, Another winning submission. The poem's movement from singular Sun, to a field of black eyed Susan's, back to a single soul is inspired indeed. The flower itself embodies the glow of sun. Sincerest regards, Brian

It's cool that there's a flower out there with your name on it. I bet they are pretty when they first bloom. Did you win the contest? I can't find it. You deserve to. This is very beautiful. Love, Angie

Susan Ashley

Yes, it is cool, Angie! :) They are very pretty flowers, it looks like a golden daisy with a black center. They just happened to look like what was in the contest prompt. The contest isn't closed so no winners yet.. you can find it under Poetry Contests in the side bar.. The contest name is Double Tetractys 3. You should try writing one and enter the contest. It's fun! I bet you'd enjoy it. Thank you for your gracious and encouraging comments, I'm so pleased you enjoyed my poem. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan

Love this! I am seeing many poets drawn to this picture . It was the one that captured me as well. I had no idea what flowers those were, but I like them being black eyed susans.
