Each year I have yearned
to see all the sunflowers
as they turned.
But try as I might,
the sunflowers grew
out of sight!
Bowing, bending and blending
Growing beyond my tending!
Until that momentous day when
the wooden swing was made!
Over field and
over flower-
I flew overhead
with great power!
Extending my legs and
pushing back my knees,
Oh, the laws of gravity
did I cheat!!!
High in the air-
With a Bird’s Eye View
I saw smiling sunflower heads
AND
the neighbour’s dog Blue!
Thank you Ingrid for making me smile! and NO! you did not cheat 🙂 you flew!
Thanks Carol 🙂
Love the movement and imagery here!
Thanks Mel! This picture was a good excuse to to write whimsical and child-like rhyming couplets…which are always fun! Thanks for enjoying the poem.
