Ann Gilmour Poet Shape

Worth Waiting For

  
I
planted 
some seeds 
a short while ago
Growing so fast but battered by gales
The winds and the rain with intent to destroy
My favourite flowers ~ My favourite blooms
Reaching six feet their flowers emerge
Great 
Excitement
~
Great 
Joy
~
Are 
these 
giant 
yellow
 blooms
~
With
their 
smiling
 yellow
 faces
Spreading sunshine galore
Like a dozen tall soldiers standing erect
And I smile each time I open my door
Facing the sun with the cheekiest smiles
Are my bright yellow sunflowers 
with smiles I adore
And these beauties were truly
worth waiting for...

Written 11th August 2021 when my first bloom emerged…
