Zinnia
”Flowers are the creator’s finishing touch, perfection in last strokes of His brush.”Quote - Poet’s own
Zinnia awakes in the morning mist
Awaiting the moment the earth is kissed
By the sun when it has come out to play
And Zinnia displays floral array.
Zinnia blossoms in many a hue
Some are short, some grow statuesque tall too
Their allure is a

Zinnia Jazz called at the daybreak of Spring
The bees buzzed "how on earth does your garden grow?"
And the fresh season tapped in time with a zing
Bearing trowels and soil, the green fingered sing
With love and Godspeed where the sun is aglow
Zinnia Jazz called at the daybreak of Spring
Butterflies fluttered a tune with a soft swing
Circling

Quote By Poet "The faces of pretty flowers will brighten anyone's day."
Here in a lovely garden we sit,
growing very close-knit.
Our faces of pretty color,
are bigger than a sand dollar.
We love to get a kiss from the rain,
makes our growing not feel in vein.
The bees came by to say hello,
they give us a big glow.
It is

"Sweet temptress Zinnia beckons from the sky the butterfly." - by poet
How eagerly and easily you grow,
lovely Zinnia, and in late spring,
an explosion of bright colors you show
to those who pass by you. What cheer you bring!
Purple, orange, yellow, red, peach and pink -
you wear those colors well, and butterflies
adore your hues! They come to

Zinnia
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

She's here even if you can not see her,
She's here even if you can not hear it.
She makes herself known with a crazy purr,
Mia is here, and she will never quit.
Jack watches us from a pleasant distance,
And he charges up to demand our love.
Letting us go is a nonexistence,
For he hovers around us like a

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.

Zinnia
Zinnia…garland of evening; I
yield to such innocent blush;
xanthic as your moonlight’s hue
winging along the field’s minty air--
vulnerable are those eyes that can
unleash a charm seen only by a few.
Time and again, a mild gloss
shimmers on your curved outline
releasing petal drops ever
quietly : crepe tassels bobbing to
peep among embroidered leaves
offering sweet
