A kind of sunflower which bows its head
a tribute to spiraled clumps of seeds instead,
along a windy Salaria road to the Sabine region
girasol stalks stand sentinel like a foreign legion...

Me thinks it's head is a composite flower
painstakingly fertilized through insect power,
its seed, good food for the urinary tract
from a glorfied crown when the shoot's intact...

have been tempted to feed from its natural source
respectful of its roadside stature of course;
it has followed me back to the land of my birth
spiraled seed heads banded by petaled girths...

Girasole girasole . sunflowers......... attracted by the title, I enjoyed your write and I know what you are talking about. And it’s all true and beautiful. I often happen on the Salaria towards Sabinia. Beautiful Region!

Very lovely!

Love, Margherita
