Second Chance


daffodils raise their heads
as I walk past
pretty in their skirts
blowing sky high
a contrast of the hollow
leaves surrounding them
I always liked them
and wanted them to stay
longer
but they
like everything else
lose their spunk
me, I am more like
those pesky yellow dandelions
simple flowers bloom
and I still
get a wish

Helen,

PS

Tune:  “Flower Unlike Flower”

A flower, and yet not flower
Of mist, and yet not of mist
At midnight she comes
And at daybreak, leaves.
She comes like a spring dream, for how long?
She goes like morning dew, without a trace.


Po Chu-i

Whatever the name, you are a flower whose beauty can not be over looked.

Icebox...yes she is....and you should see her when the wind blows thru the daffodil skirts and up hers...(don't tell her I've been peeking though...she handcuffed me and "took me in" last time she caught me).

Hoping you get you wish today...

of power the world will know peace."
