Daylilies

Listen to poem:
Tall and proud Daylilies Wrinkled Discolored Disheveled Past their prime Deprived of warmth and sunrays Survived cruel dips in weather Braving long cold nights Rebellious to fall’s arrival Flaunting boldest efforts Stubborn to impress Express last splash of splendor Hanging so desperately To the vestige of their youth AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Posted on January 19, 2020

Thanks, Caren. I can still see those sturdy daylilies so late in the season.
