Floral Gold of Shades

Swaying fields of buttercup and yarrow Lavish goldenrod and dandelions Wild outside my garden walls Protective of their independence And carefree wanton ways Yet bemused by how Just over yonder the other half lives Flirtatious gloriosa daisies Alluring yellow columbine Coquettish gerbera daisies Provocative flutterbye roses Sultry golden feverfew Sweet carolina jessamine Bewitching black eyed susans Tentalizing gold nuggets Darling flannelbush Amazonlike sunflowers Golden bells daffodils Spice custard iris and Irresistible hummingbird sage All day long just sitting over there Looking most opulent and radiant While soaking up the finest rays of sun AP: Honorable Mention 2020 posted on February 19, 2019
