Sunflowers Along the path, sunflowers, tall, Bend their heads. Their shadows fall In cross-cross patterns on the ground. The dark seeds in their center mound, Will draw the birds and people too When their ripening time is through. As we plant them every year, I think of how they will appear, When their growing is complete And towering to fifteen feet! The gold of sunlight trapped in each Giant head, whose flowers reach Two feet across. From down below, The petals seem to send a glow That warms the air. From where I stand, They could be in another land. Stretching high above my head From their earthy garden bed.

Thank you everyone. We have some towering sunflowers. I'm not sure they're really 15 feet high, but they look like it. The birds over them! Betty Lou Hebert |
