Robb A. Kopp Poet Acrostic

Sand Lilly

Springing up along country back roads
Along the edges of our farm’s fence
Never a farmers blessing owed
Delicately dressed to mislead

Little flower's beauty is immense
Independently has little needs
Late in fall she wilts and seeds
Light soft fragrance bestowed
You may know her as a weed

Joyce Johnson April 19, 2011 at 7:01 PM I haven't seen this wild flower or perhaps a weed. I know the wild tiger lilies grown on the prairie land in North Dakota where I was raised. And of course my gardrn is full of the Oriental beauties and other cultivated lilies. Congratulations on your win. Love, Joyce
