Resilience

tootsie roll       of a       sunflower
   wind and rain drove down
its  l e m o n y  petals
baby’s breath  s i g h s
   verdant blades of grass
with  c o u r a g e              guard
the flowers  f e l i c i t y
   peach and orange pelt
      as goldenrod’s weave
         their way through the assault,
like winsome fairies,  u n a f r a i d
