Sunflower Alley
original:15"w x 21"h
And So It Goes
Seems the sun has turned a sudden cold shoulder
On our summertime romance,
Apparently now over.....
Gone are those golden sundrops
Dripping so warmly upon my face
Shivering shadows
Have now taken their place
While cobalt blue breezes
Rustle about,
Announcing the advancing autumnal season,
Teasing my summer tee shirts,
Taunting my silken skirts.....
The sun flowers are ruined
Their beauty in tatters,
Seeds, petals.....leaves,
Tossed about.....scattered.
So begins the march
Of the soldiering squirrels
As they gather the remains
Of my golden sun girls.....
[As quickly as ants
At a summertime picnic, they advance,
And I thought finches
Were sunflower grinches!]
So I’m left with the memories,
A great golden wall
Where my sunflowers surround me
Standing true, standing tall.
But wait,
Did that sun just now say?
“I’ll be back”
For next summer’s jitter-bug days!
