Poppy

Poppies are growing wild,
Orange to plum where sun smiled.
Peach grape twilight's come,
Painting the world so awesome-
Yon meadow is much beguiled!

oh gosh, this was a real beauty which I was set to score in top three but your first line had 6 syllables instead of 5. Except for that, excellent work, Evelyn , Congrats in my contest.

Thank you for the compliment and congratulations, and for the sheer delight of a win, Andrea. That first line was simply due to error on my part. Glad you liked it anyway, though. Thank you for sponsoring such an awesome contest. :)

You delight in colour. Our poppies are red only. Pity.
