## dandelions
|
||
A weed, sunshine yellow\
|
||
A weed, make a wish\
|
||
How can something unwanted provide such bliss?
|
||
|
||
In Spring, she arrives\
|
||
In Spring, tall and proud\
|
||
Upon this gem we've all avowed
|
||
|
||
The fairies, growing within\
|
||
The fairies, scattered free\
|
||
Off into the world to hear further plea
|
||
|
||
Among others, smiling gently\
|
||
Among others, overlooked\
|
||
Owner of the land has removal booked

## daffodils
|
||
A noise that disturbed him from his slumber\
|
||
He peered out the window to see her there\
|
||
That skirt a perfect match in his garden\
|
||
Yellow falling seamless with his flowers
|
||
|
||
He ran out to meet her, to claim her his\
|
||
But with his approach the illusion fell\
|
||
The colour's a tint green he told himself\
|
||
He could feel she was not what he fell for
|
||
|
||
Back to his solitude he retreated\
|
||
Glancing by chance at his prize daffodil\
|
||
Something about its beauty entranced him\
|
||
And then he realised where his heart lied
|
||
|
||
The days moved on, but he stayed fixated\
|
||
It pained him they couldn’t be together\
|
||
He grieved his creation as not feeling\
|
||
It will never know nor return his love
|
||
|
||
After far too much deliberation\
|
||
He was struck with the only solution\
|
||
In his garden he dug under the roots\
|
||
There he lay down pulling the dirt over
|
||
|
||
That woman visited many more times\
|
||
She noted the daffodils had grown great\
|
||
Becoming more beautiful and vibrant\
|
||
Yet she felt that something was not quite right
|
||
|
||
While flowers definitely are lovely\
|
||
She misses the man that tended to them\
|
||
Daffodils no matter how beautiful\
|
||
She would not have traded his company for
|
