Notes About The Poem

A Drop of Redberry Jam

A sunflower stands tall, enthrall,
A hidden  gem in an empty field,
High on its long unbranched, stem,
Plate size, hue yolk-yellow, full face,
With a mild, sweet,  nutty scent.
A  drop of red-berry jam on its hem.
Ruffled young dragonfly raced,
A wild attraction of folly feast.
Sherry, the little fairy sat in its place.
Dragonfly, raises its wings, weave, flit,
Stopped and hovered, got a sniff.
Biff, tiff, turned its nose and flew off.
