Best Buttercup Poems

BUTTERCUP

hope life is like a buttercup
cos this old fool does care
if i was there I’d kiss you but
you might object "how dare"

perhaps  I shouldn’t call the tune
and bring you to my sight
attraction brings the moth too soon
if I don’t employ it right

patience like a...

Across the wide meadow of verdant green,
splashes of pastel pink waved in the breeze.
One of the lovliest wildflowers I've ever seen
appeared to ebb and flow like restless seas.

Delicate, the buttercup, its veins finger-traced.
This wildflower beauty with nectared center
stands patiently waiting with an upturned face,
welcoming pollen...

Poems creep in like spiders, capturing me in web so fair.
Poems slip in like mice, sticky traps holding them in place. 
Poems prance in like majorettes, throwing batons in the air.
Sci-Fi dances around in my muse’s brain, taking all the space.

Poems twirl around my dendrite...

I am Buttercup, swaying in breeze
Ah Ah Choo! Something's making me sneeze.
Just hold on...now I see
It's that darn Busy Bee
And he's swapping my pollen for fleas.

BUTTERCUP

Buttercup wears a cheerful bonnet;
 Five yellow petals of sunshine on it;
Always smiling - sunlight in yellow -
 Leaves us joyful, yet quite mellow;
This meadow child in brightest of hues
 Winks at us through morning dews....

Born of bone,
born of flesh,
born of blood of man.
Return to earth the day you die,
return to mud and sand.
The in between you sleep and dream,
and want for what is not.
Either way you have no say,
your stuck with what you've got.
Choose to smile,
choose to frown,

A single drop of dew
caught in a buttercup
Provides a welcoming d
first drink of the day
to  Ladybugs Dormouse
and busy shrew.

BUTTERCUP

Like a flower
 I have grown
Thanks to you, my love, my own.

Like the sun your light has shone
On me and mine
In your warmth divine.

Like a flower
I began to bloom
With your loving care I felt better soon.

Like the rain my tears fell
Until you gently touched me
Your...

...afternoon tea with friends

...belly laughs

Nature runs wild,
Precious as gold,
Through woodlands,
Over fields,
Happily spreading,
Expressions of art,
Meadows blossoming,
Buttercups flowering
Dressed in her yellow attire,
Charming and dazzling,
Uplifting and cheerful,
Enthusiasm of colour
Making us feel,
Like children again,
Bursting into song,
Singing,
The hills are alive. 
With the sound of music.
Our youth is renewed.

Sunshine buttercup, yellow under my chin
Yellow sunshine of heart come from within

Lovely is the sun warm upon my weathering
Face, full of grace, no disgrace & mothering

Sunny faces on my grandchildren, it so grand
For they are my desire to fire up the big band

Firey sun shoots...
