Flowers

FLOWERS



Bluebells sing of jolly spring days 
In damp fields with sparkling rills
And the scented blue haze
Filling our nostrils

Hidden in bunches of daffodils in rooms
Are cemetery visits to make the stones neat
And replace spent plastic blooms
Wilting in the heat

Chauffeur-driven car and chrysanthemums
Suggest weddings with expensive foods
And speeches and photo albums
And windshields ribboned to hoods.
