Bursts of yellow
Stems of green
Sprouts popping up
and birds unseen
A meadow in bloom,
hopeful and bright
sun whispering in
I sigh at the sight
u use a bright pen that is last to be
picked in the packet. may u speak ur true
feelings on paper and pray. she can’t see
where ur love starts and ends. but she has to.
Sunflower sunflower where have you gone
Your sunlight extinguished from this earth
Your dark pit of growth trembling , shaken to its core by the ferocity of seasons
Sunflower sunflower where have you gone
Their pedals burst the color of rejoicement
And lighten any room.
Anyone would be excited
To watch even a dozen bloom.
High, tall, and proud
Darling sunflowers grow.
You have many uses
You're still pretty in the rain like sunflowers in the field
Even when your petals droop, yellow you are still
Flowers are pretty, just like me.
Flowers smell nice, just like me.
Flowers can dance in the wind, just like me.
Sunflowers turn where the sun sure shines.
Like a sunflower, I find myself
Floral prints and straw hats
Sips of lemonade and a gentle scent of daisies
Mix nicely with the cool spring breeze
It has just rained
So grass sticks to the bottom of our feet
Sunflowers dancing in the light, Hidden but not out of sight; Gathered in anonymity, But not without solemnity.
Look at me, look at meI'm a sunflower, standing tall and looking brightMy petals are golden, and I seem boldBut through the eyes of a sunflower, everything I see is scolded
