Edward Ibeh Poet Imagism

Notes About The Poem

Yarrow

The yarrow is a show stealer,
       a charming wildflower and garden plant
                    that blooms perennially 
                    around June to August.
Beautifying nurseries, greenhouses and waysides;
           it comes in many hybrid of colors;
                                white,
                                 red,
                             pale-pink,
                    and especially yellow.
             Captivatingly striking in yellow;
        it's golden parasol glows like the sun.

           A flower of remarkable versatility!
       It can be used for seasonal decorations
                and has large flowerheads
                      that are also used 
         to flavor a variety of culinary dishes
                     It can be cut, dried
                  and arranged in a vase
            without losing it's gorgeous color.

                 It is a sun's best friend!
