Ah, Sweet Daisy

Ah Sweet Daisy Ah, sweet daisy, a commoner scorned prolific beauty a-dance upon the hillside, unabashedly un-ashamed peon answering only to the wind’s whispers. A thousand petaled suns rising atop the hilled horizons celebrating in white winged applause soft opening of a single bud. Bouquets held in roughened hands presented to a beauty such as theirs simple radiance unhindered by expectations vanity. Petals plucked by lover’s doubt answers sought by fickle hearts knowing the daisies always answer “she loves me, she loves me still”. John G. Lawless 8/22/2016

Thank you once again Connie for the high mark and kind comment. I had some fun with this one but didn't think it really fit the limits of the contest I wrote it for.
