Sunflower

SUNFLOWER All yellow and big and radiant Commanding a tiny city centre lawn Looking top heavy and a little nervous Bright smile at all the sullen passers-by All too hot and hurried to notice her Holding tightly to her pole A tip-toe ballerina swaying minutely A proud one-leg Masai with a spear Looking directly in my eye and saying You’ve never seen a flower before? Too busy to stop and chat? Ok, go on by, but remember - This garden is mine, and I rule here.
