Vernon Witmer Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Happy Flower

I watched a flower closely, 
on a windless day;
startled, when at first 
I saw it sway.
Staring close, 
I watched in disbelief
a ladybug, 
scampering on its leaf.
I realized then, 
that flowers are like we.
they giggle when they’re tickled, 
for all the world to see.

Gershon Wolf December 16, 2020 at 7:36 PM Ha, ha! This poem is so cute that I could pinch its cheek! Delightful, Vernon! Thanks, Gershon Vernon Witmer December 16, 2020 at 7:45 PM thanks for the compliment Gershon I just wish I had some of your spontaneity. You seem to breathe poetry, so natural the way you write. You look, you write. I look and think and fiddle and scratch, too much between eye and word sometimes.
