Short Zinnia Poems

Season ends, zinnia!
Fertile, unborn bud has hope.
Stem curves, flower droops....

Winter have gone - Spring rings

Cherry blossoms bloom to bless

Let me put buttons - wax flowers

Zinnia with big smile welcomes you

Beauty belongs to woman - hunter men

Long green-leaf stemmed
deep learning rooted,
Growing from tilted round horizon
green and yellow lime pots,
hot pink
fire red
vibrant rose
brilliant orange zinnias
in full-cultured bloom

Lust for dawn's upcoming dewy sun
shine enough
for this New Revolutionary Day....

The stubborn frog was holding tight to the yellow zinnia
She had abnormally long petals, so she kept him dry in spurts.
However, her stalk was slippery. He kept sliding into the wet grass
Let go! His wife said. “It is dry down here, under the mushroom.”
But he had tuned her out for so many years, he could not hear her....

All around
birdies bicker
cats creep
doggies dig
every evening.
 
flowers flirting,
greening grass,
heather hedging
invading insects
juicy junipers.
 
keening kin
life lost,
mournful mending
nurture needed.
 
ominous omens,
praying penitent
quietly quaking
redemption rendered.
 
sweet scents
tease, tickle
unarm ugliness
vivacious violets
 
warmly witness
xeroxed xanthous.
yonder yawn
Zany zinnia!...

In my little garden, balmy blooms are on display.
My purple Zinnia wears the crown in August sun
attracting tiny Hummingbirds and butterflies.
Ripe golden mangos blush with scarlet hues
so lush and juicy sweet…a favorite fruity treat.
Cooling ocean waves lure swimmers to the shore.
School begins, a sigh, it’s just August once more.

We have floral stilt walkers in this circus you know
I had no idea, but sat down to enjoy the keen show
I had never been to the UK so this was a treat
The floral stilt walkers are tidy and incredibly neat

They walk better than most of us who are on the ground
I waved and winked to them, and neither of them frowned.
Lily and Zinnia floral stilt walkers are totally new to me
But I think they are as amazing as circus people can be....

Blush peach gerbera daisies
Echinacea marmalade
Angel’s trumpet cassie’s curls
Chantilly peach snapdragon
Christa coral bells
Daylily tangerine
Apricot whirl narcissus
A la mode dahlia
Zinnia thumbelina
Peaches ‘n dreams hollyhock
Hues of apricot lisianthus
Hawaiian punch carnation
Sienna sunset coreopsis 
Indian summer rose
Toasting pink champagne
To hues of apricot

I have myself, the simple zinnia on your vase
I asked for nothing, but you gave me sunshine
The smile, the hug, the cuddle, the warmth
I am happy to the little things I have
You give me light to complete my being
I am truly deeply thankful for your unconditional love
You are my life the life of life
You are the dream I dreamt and dreaming
To love, to cherish, to treasure
Until I know how to give up all, even my life

Fiery giant poppies 
Cheerful bright chrysanthemum
Spicy scented dianthus
Statuesque amaryllis
Flamboyant hibiscus
Vivacious geranium
Seductive anemone
Exotic calla lily
Ruffled marigold
Bodacious begonia
Luscious dahlia and ludic zinnia
Dress the garden with pure delight 
Exuberant in shimmering rays of sunlight
As sweetly the summer zephyr whispers

        or perhaps

a prosaic prothalamion
with a epithalamium
sung to greet their wedding day
in rhyming roundelay-
verse and versicle
doxology
antiphon-

A precious bud was born this hour 
a lovely little Zinnia flower 
her soft new petals grace the stage
with newness of life, a beautiful babe.

With a halo of fine sweet angel hair
no other has entered the world so fair
with sapphire eyes and cherubic charms
she’s carefully placed in her mother’s arms.

As her new mom weeps and her father sighs
this sacred moment cannot be denied
for heaven has sent a gift this hour
a pure and priceless Zinnia flower.
