Standing tall with obese faces <br />but such slender stemmed graces <br />often staked to fend off hastened <br />violent winds of spring. <br />Below and in their places <br />Alice’d roses <br />with budding faces grin. <br />And all are smiling and thinking <br />of such nice places as <br />warming sunshine brings. <br />But what they love <br />and sets them blushing <br />with finest blooming buds <br />that will surely blossom, <br />is a gentle light winged <br />goddess sipping from their <br />inmost spaces, <br />not overlooking any places, <br />with flapping coloured wings.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sunflowers-butterflies-and-roses/
