Sunflower Delight

Standing tall with pride
oh glorious sunflower
for my eyes delight

A Stretch Of Sunflower

Gentle raindrops fall
sunflowers stretch for a sip
of nature's nectar

In butter gold crown
take a bow, your majesty

I think I'll have you submit these to the Kansas Arts & Appreciation Committee...I don't think they've seen such a fine job of poetic acknowledgment of our state flower for some time...
