Daisy Thoughts

Gathering “daisy do’s” and “daisy don’ts”
amid life’s proverbial clover.
The sun may shine 
on clouds divine.
I think I’ll name the little dog “Rover.”

Butterfly near, I think you’re a dear
to pollinate the flowers.
A winged delight 
within my sight.
I think I’ll look for a four leaf clover.

Dove so white in drifting flight
soon lost on the foggy horizon.
Daisy flowerets 
Petaled roulette
I think I’ll call the yellow cat “Grover.”

A bee buzzing here, a bee buzzing there
It’s stinger I hope not to feel
I’d better run.
Stings are not fun.
I think I’ll wish for this day to be over.
