Love and Flowers
Love and Flowers
I just had a great idea. Have Poetry Soup eliminate
all advertisements from Poetry Submission Form.
They are really getting to be a pain when I keep
accidentally turning them on. Advertisements are
spread all over the screen and are hard to avoid.
Now for my poem.
I apply much labor which is menial
Planting my each annual and perennial
Including gladiolas that always bend
Hoping together everything will blend.
In the breeze they will blow and sway
Plant them here and there any old way
My backyard has much room to spare
Flowers are now appearing everywhere.
Flowers bloom facing bright afternoon sun
And then when warm day is finally done
They do to them what they think is best
Going in at night so they can take a rest.
When sun comes out are back up again
Say prayers to God and end in an Amen
Thank Him for flowers and color painted
On them so thought I should be sainted.
What you could me is Saint Abundance
Without God there is only redundance
If it wasn't for our God, nothing grows
Best way to plant flowers He always knows.
