Zinnia Vibes

“A flower of strange beauty, growing in a desolate spot, and blossoming in the wind.”
                         — Nathaniel Hawthorne

Blooming zinnias, swaying in the breeze, 
          Elegance attracting
      cute little hummingbirds with ease, 
                    Hues impacting;

Lemon yellow butterflies flit around, 
          Collecting sweet nectar, 
      Zinnias stand tall in the ground, 
                    Sole protector;

Hearts flutter at the sight of these flowers, 
          Cheerfully spread good vibes, 
      Small, yet potent, they have powers
                    no tongue describes.

I like the way that you went with this one. Zinnias do add a special touch to the garden and butterflies do seem to love them and they bloom so late in the season all the way up to frost which adds such a colorful view. Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara
