Tiger Lily
Go get em tiger, says my Lily flower
She makes my fire burn and turns my lips into lava
Your red strength and orange personality is more beautiful than the sunset
So, don't mind me if I just sit and stare under the aura of your sky
Waking up to your morning glory is the dream that finally came

Trying to get her to notice
To no avail

waft in sun and shade.

Dandelions Oh My
We big, tough, well-thinking male bearberries blew and we snarled and we spouted and we blew.
But those danged dandelions obstinately kept their tops on, no matter how much we did fuss.
Come on fellas, I said to my fellow bearberries. Here is just what we’ll do…
“I’m not taking them!” I screamed at B.B.2, our leader,

Tiger Lily
A gentle flowering Tiger Lily shines
Brightly in the sun to the end
Of time captured in a moment so fine
When a broken heart can mend
