Sunflower Farm : verse
a trillion petals magnetise my tender Heart
racing past farm workers in morning dew
Sun embellishes yellow song
crazed by mesmerising muse
saffron they slap an early chill gold
seeds swallow empty hopes sold

sunflower faerie
sunflower faerie appeared in a Kansas field
in the middle of sunflowers with an unusual yield
She flitted between the faces of these large flowers
Giving them a teensy bit of her sunflower powers
The sunflowers she landed on now had a face
And mouths that moved, but they could not chase
We want legs now said one with her new

honey bee makes a bee line to the sunflower
he flies to the sunflower
of course, because it is the largest and the brightest
Pollinating it with all of his heart, I hear his happy sounds
a joyful honey bee

My Sunflower
She flickers in the glass—
a glitch of golden déjà vu,
The paint strokes—bright, wild yellow,
but no warmth leak through.
I sometimes reach
for her dimming leaves
that hum against my skin then disappear.
I pull back and smell
ash, when nothing’s charred.
There were twelve petals yesterday,
now, only eleven.
I wake up and count again.
Still eleven,
or maybe
none.
(I’m not sure if

Sunflower
In the blithe breeze
A baby’s hand opens to the light.
In a daze, the radiant blaze, towering flower
arching toward the golden solar rays.
In a time-lapsing daydream, it rises, stretches
and unfurls, soaking in and beckoning the sultry Sol,
the simmering summer Sol.
No wonder it is seen as good luck.
First conceived in childish crayon,
It bears the ragged, jagged

blushing ruby heart sighing
her tourmaline painting hands whoosh
starry strokes of fireflies gardens
chromatic souls from mother nature's pearls

Like a sunflower you fade
Like a sunflower you fade, faster, quicker every day.
Weeping like the wonderful willows ,
We just could not keep that melancholy feeling at bay.
That feeling was just too hard of a pill to swallow,
For those of us who miss you most.
A flower can be such a sweet reminder of what once was,
Although these flowers fade all

Sunflower Tale
Be strong like a sunflower
Smiling all day in the sun
Ruthless of strong wind rage
Still standing, head on unfazed
Orange-yellow its identity
Waiting patiently for bees
Looking up above its humbleness
Thanking God, love His mercy everyday
Until the reaper put its sickle
Life is still beautiful to stay.

A Dragonfly And Fairy Fantasy
Once up on a giant sunflower,
A pink fairy lost her way in grand green fields
She sat alone for what seemed hours
When out of nowhere a blue dragonfly yields
Will you come and sit with me before you go?
The dragonfly stayed and sang a lovely lullaby

Garden of Eden
Garden of Eden
Trees with fruits are laden
Birds sing gaily, beasts roam wild.
Sunflower fairy
Chatted merry
Spellbound the dragonfly, like a child.
