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.
