Bouquet Daze
original watercolor sunflowers: 9" x 12
In the Blooming
my bed of sunflowers
prepping for hours
is all set to host
an end of summer toast
boasting nectar so sweet
tasty seeds, what a treat
for our faithful dine-ees
all feasting happily
dragonflies, bumble bees
butterflies, such drama queens
golden finches, reformed grinches
heady heat waves
shimmer and sway
hovering o’er
this late summer day
i wave goodbye
as they pack up, they try
to smile through their sighs
then southward they fly
the long winter’s night
is approaching too soon
will they come back next June?
I hope so, I do....
