Friendly Blooms
"Flowers we gather along life's highway, are friends kept in memoirs floral bouquet.” Quote - poet’s own.
Daffodil, tranquil queen of the bower Shining as the sun after a shower Merrily dancing the days blues away Blowing her trumpet in the nicest way. Daisy, told me did he love me or not I cannot recall the answer I got Still wearing her white/gold heart on a chain One touch and she's back here with me again. Forget-me-not, my exquisite flower Who could charm my days for hour after hour Wild child with those beguiling eyes so blue Such fun to be had on nights out with you. Iris, fragrant you bloom - life you adorn Velvety soft as the day you were born Together we've both shared wishes and dreams Scenarios of tangled webs we'd weave. Lily, how we laughed till we were giddy Girls out on the town acting so silly We shared many splendid times in the past Say the word and we'll head for second blast. Peony, voluptuously charming Dimpled smiles so sweet and quite enchanting Wherever you went to, men's heads would turn Yet you always remained quite unperturbed. Poppy, you'll always remain my hero Remembered for courageous bravado Now you've come to the close of life's story Bloom within heaven's palace of glory.

Such a beautiful flower! I love its colour; its shape; its dance; and its tune, too.

I did not know if Constance wanted one flower or several. I would have preferred several like you but to be safe I stuck to a special flower, not the rose, of course. Lovely poem though. Best for a win.
