my favorite flowers are roses.
but only the dark red kinds,
because i think the orange, white, pink ones
are too loud.
my second favorite flowers are scorpion grass.
because they're calledÂ
forget-me-nots
and that's nice.
my third favorite flowers are amaryllises.
vibrant and beautiful,
and because they bloom
in the winter.
hydrangeas grow outside my front door.
coneflowers are a favorite of bees.
and when spring comes, i'll have to deal
with the seasonal supermarket bouquets.
a potted hyacinth. tall. purple and pretty.
watered daily, watched it sprout!
>>>
it died. i decided
flowers might not be worth the trouble.
