Like flocks of Bright butterfliesPetals fluttering in the wind Like wingsSoft and sweet and full of light,Orange nasturtiums Rival the colors ofMaple leaves of Maine In September.

Ruffled skirts flyingSquare dancers goCircle, square, and do-se-doSwing your partner,Don't be slow!

Sun-full flower spring Open like a Jack-in-a-box!Show us your true colorsYour bowl of bright sunraysBursting from pink and white petalsServed on leathery green plates,Landing pads for bejeweled dragonfliesHiding turtle's backs,Harboring frogs in your folds Concealing silvery fish in Shadowy waters beneath.
