Sunflower

I treated the soil I planted four packets of seeds But only one small yet dazzling Sunflower bloomed Amidst the most ugly weeds I have ever seen The sunflower opening so elegantly and proudly As if a diamond surrounded by cubic zirconias For its yellow embellished the hues of the ugly weed Which in comparison was nearly as tall I speak to The sunflower on my morning and afternoon jaunt With the dogs, it’s once crippled petals now fully Spread all of maybe four inches in diameter. Nothing compared to its six foot height which is Amazing considering the drought we are having Such a splendid beautiful addition to my garden Mother Nature has blessed me with, a single glorious Sunflower amidst a wasteland of barbaric weeds.
