    The Garden Flower
    by Chrissy/Zinnia

    My petals are heavy

    My leaves are starting to crumble and

    My stem is wilting from the weight.

    Soon, I will be nestled in the leaves

    A quilted blanket of crimson, orange, and brilliant yellow.

    I will be given to the earth once again.

    I shall pass, unnoticed.



    After my world has dissolved,

    On a glorious sun-kissed day

    May I warm my face against a sunbeam,

    Dance in the breeze, and

    see your amorous face again.

    Very well written. I saw the Zinnia's in my yard that are doing the same thing as I read the poem.

    Summer yearnings- Garden poetry

    Summer Yearnings by Chrissy:

    In the Winter I shall miss....
    the chorus of nature,
    the ambition of the night,
    and the eagerness of the day.
