Flowers so colourful and bright, <br />In their glory in the sun's light, <br />At home amid the summer's heat, <br />Giving out a perfume so sweet, <br />The summer flowers seem perfect, <br />In near enough every aspect, <br />So effortlessly they distract, <br />As one's attention they attract, <br />Countless different kinds carve their mark, <br />Throughout every meadow and park, <br />There for us to enjoy and pick, <br />While we waste our days and frolic, <br />As gifts more poetic than speech, <br />When lovers and their loves meet, <br />One of nature's finer artworks, <br />Saving scenes from seeming bleak.<br /><br />Christian Lacdael<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/summer-flowers-4/
