Oopsy Daisies-Photograph 1 -Under 10 Lines

This is the closest she could get
to wearing rose colored glasses
She sees nothing but innocent daisies
when a meadow of dandelions is obvious to the masses

What once was a botanical field of dreams, has changed to a field of screams
Feet planted in oblivion, she will certainly come down with a case of the crazies
She only sees the flowers she used to receive, not the weeds presented to her now
So for the time being anyhow, all she will allow herself to see, are the daisies

Dineen, Congratulations on your awesome entry for my PICTURE contest. Thank you for keeping it under 10 lines... Stop by my latest blog "Photo Questions" and enjoy my take on the same picture of "Lilly Covering Her eyes." I wrote a little something myself. Enjoy if you like. Always ~LINDA~
