~
gentle white daisies
waving petals toward sun
beckon birds to flight
~
bright purple pansies
celebrate the warm season
with radiant smiles
~
naïve pink roses
hasten to open petals
where butterflies land
~
joyful red lilies
spread sensitive foliage
awakening bees
~
lavender hostas
lifting high above the plant
embracing sunshine
~
My circular corner garden
Is a somewhat crowded scene.
With hostas all around the edge
And day lilies in between.
But within the flowery circle
The grass is growing tall.
I’ve tried, but there’s no way
I can weed it out at all.
One day while on my porch
I glanced out at the flowers
And noticed feathery maidens
All dancing in the bowers
Dumbstruck, it just came to me!
Those uninvited lasses
Aren’t ugly weeds at all.
They’re ornamental grasses!
