Best Marigolds Poems

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...

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...

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...

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!...

and the sun that is
opening
we will lose ourselves
before they find us
in the eternal searching
for ourselves
(and the mind again
steps over us)
did you recognize the happiness

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...

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...

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...

twinkly sparkly dew
frolicking on marigolds

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...
