Fighting Flowers
The changing of summer flora guards
Crying April showers, tears usher in
The softening of wintered earth, once hard
Now loosened up as the Earth sheds its skin
The floral fists of flowers do begin
to jab and cross through intractable mud
collective conviction of vernal kin
inundates the Southern meadows, a flood
A triumph to see, the seasonal bud
First flowering in May, the bees delight
Filling their honeycombs with golden blood
Their busy bodies’ mysterious flight
From the palette of God, landscape painted
by fighting flowers, jabbed, crossed and feinted
