Best Petunias Poems
Kiss My Petunias
Call yourself a poet
Or is it poetess?
Your so called poems a child could do
Your work is such a mess.
Hairy fairy rubbish, this what you write
Under the guise of poetry
Your words are such a fright
You offer sickly sweet friendship
What a joke that is
You are like a white wine spritzer, but without the fizz
But then your loving smile shines right off the page
Your wonderful words of wisdom
Give you credit as a sage
Your compassion is overflowing, your intuition too
I am amazed at all the wonderful selfless things that you do
The time you spend on your family
Makes you the envy of us all
We know when there’s a problem, you are the one to call
In fact your compassion is pure poetry
So there is not finer poetess you are the one for me.

Forgive me, dear lady but you asked for it...............I feel a real heel
Oh, beautiful petunias,
how I love your satin blooms;
and whimsical colors,
that flow from my hanging basket !
And no matter how hot you still thrive;
asking me only for ... water !

Third Place
Starry eyed!
Petunias gazed into the sky,
The sun shining high,
Daydreaming began,
Petunia’s argued!
Who was the best?
In God’s favour,
“I am!” Chirped up Red,
The passionate one,
“No better flower than me.”
“Well” Said Purple,
Enchanting and mysterious,
Full of grace and charm.
Pink uttered!
“Mothers of course”
Compassionate and gentle”
Yellow pulled a face! “Be quite”
Turning towards the sun,
“Give me respect
I’m resting my friends”
Blue was being intimate,
But deep in thought,
“Trust is more important”
No said white! “Purity”
Innocence with dignity.
Colours just couldn’t agree,
All wanted first place,
In the kingdom of plants.
But sadly,
All equally in need of,
Water to live.
pink, purple, or white
petunias are enchanting ~
bright summer bloomers.

In fertile loam soil rising
From railroad ties aligned new,
When spring rains and warm sun come
I will plant petunias, pink and blue.

There lives this lady on Poetry Soup
One of the sweetest of the whole damn group
Dragons and Trolls
Owned her soul
They ate her petunias, those damn nincompoops
