Black-eyed Susan

Black-eyed Susan, a Summer doll.
Bright, yellow, with downturned petals.
My childhood shadow skips along
the trail with honeysuckle scent.

Flow’rs stunning in a garden fete.
Her sunrays smile in a vast field.
Petals dance in a circle ‘round
Susan’s sun-soaked, ebony eye.

Black Eyed Susan

The eyes are watching
         through the tall blades of green grass
                           Yellow faces show

Choosin' Black Eyed Susan

Though you may find her name amusin'
She's not cruisin' for a bruisin'
If in the garden I'm perusin' 
She's always the one I'm choosin'
Black and yellow hues infusin'
These honeybees never refusin'
Glee and happiness she's oozin'
The ever lovely Black Eyed Susan

Black Eyed Susan

The Black Eyed Susan is looking at me
As if it is filled with curiosity
All I am doing is walking on by
Maybe it's my dog, she is not that shy
The torrential rain is heading our way
I choose to write about flowers today
A muse filled with blossoms to share with you
For colors and happiness to shine on

              Black-Eyed Susan-  I am called,
        quite hardy, one real tough fighting flower;

Black Eyed Susan Loves April

Below deep snow snug and cozy,

Waiting for winters final bow,

Miss black eyed susan,

Pokes thru nosey,

Her face to love kowtows, 

I Rescue her from the nights chill,

Her beauty will not be still,

In my vase,

On display, 

She sheds a single tear, 

A cry of thanks and not of fear,

"I love you Susan",

She knows this girl is sincere.

My name is Susan, Black-Eyed Susan I am called,
     I am hardy, one real tough fighting flower;  I was
born in a lovely cottage garden years and years ago,
     surrounded by so many sweet and beautiful friends. Oh there

Black-Eyed-Susan

Fun loving and flirty,
Always climbing,
No fence too high,
Spreading herself about,
Relaxing lazily in the sun,
Tanning her golden face,
Flattering long eyelashes,
A real honey babe!
Attracting butterflies,
The good time flower,
Surprising passers-by,
With her smiling heart,
And a flair for happiness.
Black-Eyed-Susan, 
Cools off in the shade,
After a hectic fun day
Running on the vine.

My Darling Girl, My Black-Eyed Susan

My Darling Girl, 

your big dark eyes  met mine

against your pale skin and yellow hair

this name sang in my heart, Susan,

my Black-Eyed Susan.

A wild flower you’ll be, you’ll be a

kind friend,

loving wife,

strong mother,

sweet grandmother

and always you’ll be

my darling girl, my Black-Eyed Susan
