Stately Snapdragons
Delicate petals on stately stalks sway in the breeze,
sweet, scented nectar attracts hummingbirds and bees.
I watch them while sipping iced tea in my lawn chair,
Snapdragons adorn my garden with a decorative flair.
They're not fire-breathing blooms, standing in sunlight,
proudly displaying a variety of colors, bold and bright.
They grace my walkways in the seasons, spring and fall
as floral sentinels they greet me, standing lordly and tall.
