    Sunflower and Poppy – by Heather Mirassou

    Yellow, yellow Sunflower,

    what did you say?

    I almost missed your bright petals

    in my path today.

    I ask what would you be

    if you were on a big stalk

    like me?

    Oh, I think I would be

    a red poppy.

    Not as strong as thee,

    so my petals can whisper

    in the spring breeze.

    My stalk flows weightlessly

    so my petals can whisper

    in the wind you see?

    You bloom in the summer,

    I in the Spring.

    You drop seeds from your wide eye.

    Mine from pods to keep and seep.

    Well I must go now,

    My pods are about to burst!

    The breeze is calling

    and the earth is thirsty for firsts.
