Flowers
At winter's close
come Snowdrops
resigned and cold
in January snow
Violets
bold and lyrical
with its purple petals aflutter
whisper in the February wind
greeting one another
Daffodils
all in clumps
gazing in reflections
chatter in the march sun
offering protection
Daises
thick and white and yellow
grow along the April grass
bowing at our feet
as we meander past.
Lilies of the valley
like angels' porcelain bells
play their song in May
when all the rain fell
Roses
full and Burgundy
redolent in June
envious of all the lips
for which the boys did swoon.
Water lilies
sharp and prim
peeking from the cool lake rim
laugh and giggle in July
watching fireworks in the sky.
Poppies
red in pulchritude
setting a fading summer tune
sit up on the hill in August
listening to the children play.
Morning glories
oh so sweet
greet the school children on the street
first one up and back to bed
not a single word it said.
Cosmos
faint and pretty pink
gracing the October sink
reach for the chilly sun
while kids in costumes have their fun
Chrysanthemum
of many petals
brightly colored in November
strong and stable
never weak
even in the winter streak
Finally comes noble Holly
begging all of us to be jolly
so to you we raise our glass
and give a merry December laugh
flowers of the children's birth
circle round the children's earth.
