Flowers

Don't belive that tulips are short?

tulips are tall beyond belief.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the tulips,

Gently they go - the tallish, the stately, the gangling.

I cannot help but stop and look at dainty daisies.

Now squeamish is just the thing,

To get me wondering if daisies are exquisite.

When I think of marigolds, I see succulent plants.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the marigolds,

Gently they go - the muddled, the flocculent, the confused.

How happy are big pumpkins!

Pumpkins are handsome. pumpkins are openhanded,

pumpkins are larger-than-life, however.

How happy is the lovely scilla!

Never forget the adorable and lovable scilla.

How happy are withered hollyhocks!

Now dried-up is just the thing,

To get me wondering if hollyhocks are shriveled.
