Cinderella Goldenrod

CINDERELLA    GOLDENROD


The June garden  is overflowing with summer colour. 
The dresses are gorgeous. The Prince is dazzled.
In the corner, Cinderella  in drab green looks sad;
But the clock ticks. In August, the Prince of the Sky 
Will see her clusters of emberglowing yellow flowers. 
She’ll be the belle of the ball.

………………………………………………………………………………………


Note.   All gardeners love the bright, late showing of Goldenrod, after the other flowers have  gone.

Kim...I'm very glad you liked these three poems....I like to take a querky view point on some things...I find it surprising how people often fail to see the underlying humour or even tragedy in even small matters.....best wishes Syd
