Second Place

Pansy

  

I am a garden pansy, a descendent of the family Viola,
      poet's write praises of me not just these days;
but in the days of Spencer and Shakespeare, I am that old,
           I am a small flower but a garden survivor.

You planted me in early Spring in the partial sun,
      I love the sun and soon showed my purple face;
I am a cheerful upturned bright and happy garden flower,
            symbolizing thinking and thoughts for you.

In the summer months butterflies caress my petals,
      and bees steal my nectar but I have tons;
I love watching the birds fluttering about the garden,
             oh, chipmunks bite 'cause I am edible !

Valsa George March 7, 2024 at 8:33 PM Pansies, though small are so attractive with a bright golden nape around the violet corolla. You have presented the flower as the most coveted presence in a garden. A lovely personification. All the best dear Constance.
