Himawari - Sunflower
Even with his head
turned slightly
to one side and held low
He shone
and brightly so ..
Erect, proud and golden
Taller
than his counterparts
Spilling petals
on the ground
The poppies and the
cornflowers
all bowed and strewn
abundant ..
Not to mention those
violets
sown ever so lightly
into the
violent hedgerow
Somewhere down below ..
