"I love you,
  little buttercup",
the daisy gushed
  one day,
in a field of wild
  flowers,
so colorful
  and gay.

"You are so bright,
  and yellow,
you reflect gold rays
  of sun.
Would you like to
  sway with me?
~and have a bit
  of fun?"

The buttercup,
  demure and shy,
blushed at this
  bold request.
"Thank you, Sir,
  but the sun is hot,
and I need this time,
  to rest."

The daisy was
  heart-broken,
when Buttercup
  turned away.
Petals fell down,
  to the ground,
as his joy turned to
  dismay.

Buttercup's heart
  soon melted,
it filled with tears
  of dew,
she whispered to
  the daisy,
"Yes, I'll sway
  with you!"

A gentle breeze
  was blowing,
and the flowers
  soon did sway.
All was right
  in the meadow,
this sunny,
  summer's day.

"I love you,
  little buttercup",
the daisy gushed
  one day,
in a field of wild
  flowers,
so colorful
  and gay.

miscellanea ~

Glad you enjoyed my poem on floral fun in the sun!

I find it very satisfying writing for children ~ and grown-ups seem to enjoy whimsically light and innocent poems as well! I suppose it is the child in each of us!

Well, Angel of the Meadow, you know I love flower poems, and this one reminds me of a song I used to hear when I was a child -- so sweet, and I could not be happier for the daisy and his buttercup -- they make a sweet bouquet!   *hugs & lubs* and wishes for pleasant sailing.... the lily lady

Does the "p" in your pseudonym stand for "precious"?
