Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums offer copper and gold,
to augment Autumn's gilded treasure chest;
flaunting florets that are strikingly bold.
Roses are vulnerable to the cold,
and when their shriveled blossoms look distressed,
Chrysanthemums offer copper and gold.
In late Autumn, they're a sight to behold,
aromatic blooms that outlive the rest,
flaunting florets that are strikingly bold.
When wildflowers wither and turn to mold
amidst barren trees that appear undressed,
Chrysanthemums offer copper and gold.
As Autumn approaches Winter's threshold,
Chrysanthemums are at their very best,
flaunting florets that are strikingly bold.
As frigid nights and Winter snows take hold,
there is one flower that leaves me impressed.
Chrysanthemums offer copper and gold,
flaunting florets that are strikingly bold.
