Bouquet
Morning glory, climbing post, daffodils, bright color
boast,
Lady slippers dance about, lilies of the valley shout
Voices heavy with the scent, honeysuckle branches
bent,
Greeting all the lilacs sweet, bluebells laughing in
retreat,
Spied behind the daisy’s face, elegance of Queen Anne’s
lace,
Forsythia, politely shorn, trumpet vine sounding her
horn,
Bold sunflowers, tall and proud, tiger lilies in a crowd,
Violets, timid, filling rank, ivy climbing every bank,
Cockscomb bristling in the wind, hiding fragrant
hyacinth,
Iris marching all around Mother Nature’s camping
ground,
Buttercups in glad array watch cornflowers gently sway,
Hollyhock stalks, row on row, nodding clover loosely
blow,
Suggesting, while willows wave, God to man, much
beauty gave.
