Best Marigolds Poems
I am but a weed
In God's flower garden
Humbled to exist
Even if not as red as roses
Not as tall as sun flowers
Not as warm as marigolds
Not as thrilling as lillies
But I am wonderfully and fearfully made
I invite imagination
And like a falling star
Children pick me to
Blow blue breaths wishes upon
And I fly into whimsical wind
To deliver the messages of hopes
I start my journey as gold and then
Turn white just before my flight
A prize in disguise
I am a dandelion.
Sing a dirge with crowns of marigolds.
But not for me for I am much alive, my dear.
Listen to the lovely lively rain,
Pitter-patter on the thriving flower beds,
Let them grow in all hues and shapes.
I’ll pick the marigolds’ white petals.
See, I love you not, I love myself.
Next autumn I’ll fill my lovely cottage
With the most beautiful fragrant narcissus.
just a scribble
The flowers stand firm within the cool wind
The stems don’t break in two by the quick breeze
They’re lovely looking, a fragrance they send
The sun shines down on the flowers with ease
Their beauty glows high, kind-of brings a tease
These browns and yellows are sure delightful
The rains make the flowers grow quite prideful
They are Marigolds, a real lovely sight
The life of these flowers are meaningful
Someday they’ll surely stay in the sunlight

and I, meditate in sun.

Marigolds, bright spot of September,
When all around is drooping limber,
As life in accord with His plan remembers
To prepare itself to sleep.
You perk in yellows and burnished gold,
And tell us winter won't really blow cold,
And we won't truly grow old
As long as you are there.
You hold us in our dreary nature,
And our attention to you capture,
As holidays, parties and glories enrapture
Hot summer hearts with hope.
Moon sparks float above the
meadow of golden blooms,
mimicking marmalade
mists of healing, and the
magical muse of a
mellow field, adorned with
mosaic hues of hope.
Harold loved marigolds, his favourite flower
One day he ate some and they tasted quite sour
So that was the end
Of his passion, my friends
After that, only roses with carrots and cauliflower

Waking up, I was blinded by the radiant, yellow sun rays;
I witnessed with awe a splendid sunrise
rising over a field of marsh marigolds...
more astonished than a true believer, I praised Him twice!

A GLOW OF MARIGOLDS
Still they smile in cold November:
Cheery children warm as fire
Reject the sadness song of winter
And glow with glory like heaven’s choir.
Golden faces bright and glowing,
Fiery angels fighting death
Through the chill, grim and growing,
Of winter’s unforgiving breath.
Marigold
In a kingdom full of honeysuckles
Remembering many lavender, silent protons
The moon-flower laughed
I am shorn of their handicraft
I awoke and flung spikes of the cactus
Remembering many grand flora, ferny embroiderers
And so you came gently purring along the grasses
Still is whirring, still is whirring
As of someone gently transferring, transferring
I heard a verbatim, muffled obtaining
And the hollyhocks never cottoning
Much I marveled the bamboo foxglove
As crab grass pushes and shoves
Deep into that darkness sewing
I felt compelled to sniff the mallows
In a kingdom full of honeysuckles
As the breeze through leaves against the- - -

My Marigolds stink
yes, you heard me,
if I accidentally touch them
they smell like skunk pee.
I can't stand being near them
'cause they stink so darn bad,
these are the stinkiest flowers
I think I have ever had.
Sure, they look nice and all
bloom out quite nice,
but I think their stink
would scare off pesky mice.
The bees don't go near them
keep themselves far away,
I have to plug my nose
to keep the overwhelming stink at bay.
I keep them well watered
as I often do,
but their aroma will make your eyes water
you'll plug your quickly and say, "P U."

I'm pretty sure this is a warning to wildlife. It's as if they're screaming out, "HEY, DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!! I WILL MAKE YOU REGRET IT!! I STINK!! BACK OFF!!!" I'm probably right about this...it's a protective mechanism, to ward off predators.
Marigolds offer copper, brass, and gold,
to augment Autumn's floral treasure chest;
flaunting florets that are strikingly bold.
Roses are vulnerable to the cold,
and when their shriveled blossoms look distressed;
Marigolds offer copper, brass, and gold.
In late Autumn, they're a sight to behold;
aromatic blooms that outlive the rest,
flaunting florets that are strikingly bold.
When wildflowers wither and turn to mold
amidst barren stocks that appear undressed;
Marigolds offer copper, brass, and gold.
As Autumn approaches Winter's threshold,
the fragrant Marigolds are at their best;
flaunting florets that are strikingly bold.
As frigid nights and winter snows take hold,
there is one flower that leaves me impressed.
Marigolds offer copper, brass, and gold;
flaunting florets that are strikingly bold.
Morning sunrise showers
momentum of gold bliss
meandering brightly at
mountain and valley’s skirts
making winged critters
marvelously dance with
mother nature’s richness.
