While lounging in my duster* watching news,
I have my morning coffee. When I'm through,
I wash my cup and saucer and admire
their elegance and pleasing shade of blue.

Like other lovely things I own--handbags,
Americana wreaths, and jewelry--
my dusters, cups, and saucers all came from
the popular Blue Daisy Company.

    ************************

Blue daisy plants don't flourish where I live;
and, even if they did, they wouldn't thrive
for me. I'm death to flowers! So I have
the artificial ones. They look alive!

Most of my rooms are graced with vases of
these blue silk beauties that appeal to my
calm, meditative side or to my sense 
of whimsy. Then they make me smile and sigh.

Didn't it win , Janice. I am seeing lots of really pretty ones that were not on her list. I know I sound like sour grapes, but I prefer the non premium contests!!! So many great poems get left out in the premium contests. This one is unique and I love your enjambment in it.
