Notes About The Poem

Petunia Days

Morning tumbles into my arms,
I give a gentle hug,
Smooth down 
Her long gauzy dress,
Run my fingers through her rays
And braid sweet pea tendrils in blond pigtails.

Lifting up her quivering chin
I gaze into sapphire eyes,
Drawl encouraging morning words:
“Good” and “glory”,
“Dove”,
And she embraces the petunia day.
