With Pleasure
ghazal
Gracing the walkway, decking her brownstone with pleasure;
gorgeous escorts welcome folks to her throne with pleasure.
Strong roots like muscles fix these plants tightly to the fence.
Each stalk seems to bow, flexing its backbone with pleasure.
Familiar feature of each golden sunflower head -
its face follows the sun, a fact well-known with pleasure.
Alas winter comes, these greeters have waxed now they wane;
Like her, they need rest but will be re-sown with pleasure.
Saving some seeds for re-planting and roasting the rest,
healthy winter treat for Reason, home-grown with pleasure.
