Notes About The Poem

Zinnia

”Flowers are the creator’s finishing touch, perfection in last strokes of His brush.”Quote - Poet’s own

Zinnia awakes in the morning mist
Awaiting the moment the earth is kissed
By the sun when it has come out to play
And Zinnia displays floral array.

Zinnia blossoms in many a hue
Some are short, some grow statuesque tall too
Their allure is a delight to behold
A truth that surely cannot be opposed.

Zinnia may grow in field or meadow
Or awesomely gracing gardens also
Dancing queens are Zinnias, proud they sway
When gentle breezes come blowing their way.

Zinnia attracts birds, butterflies, bees
Their nectar and seeds satisfies all needs 
Jewels of earth Zinnias truly are
Every single one is a blooming star.
