They appear in the morning
In the early mist of dawn
In all their splendid glory
Sitting on their throne
Growing beside the blue bells
The asters are misty with dew
Even the black eyed Susan's
Bow down to them too
The daisies are so excited
Snow white with glee
Such beauty so dominate
Streaming so elegantly
Each little passion flower
Blows kisses in the wind
Along side the cone flower
A welcoming transcend
Even the blue eyed grass
Grows more proud and tall
Trying to over shadow
Each forget me not call
Those lovely fringed orchids
Sway their fancy dress
An orchestra of cattails
A glorious concert at best
The cosmos are so happy
In their own hemisphere
Among a haven of paradise
So loudly, they cheer
Each morning is perfection
In the bright sunlight
Even the evening primrose
Wakes up thinking of night
Those pretty, little wine cups
Raise their cup so high
A toast to such creation
In the midst of beauty nigh
Even the reigning queen
Of Solomon in all his glory
The lilies of the field
Stand and bow accordingly
Climbing, climbing more high
On a glorious summer stroll
Those beautiful morning glories
What a sight to behold

ReplyDeleteThank you Charlotte.
DeleteYou have enchanted me. I compose things to my flowers many times when I post them in Flickr. This was beautiful and very meaningful to me. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteAhhh--wonderful poem... The Flowers of late summer are so special. I love the Morning Glories so much although we don't have them here. I also love Zinnias since my mother used to grow them. AND--the popular ones around here this time of year are the Black-Eyed Susans... Great poem--and thank God for the beauty and the color---and for YOU.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
Thank you Betsy. Hugs to you.
DeleteMorning glories are truly one of the underappreciated flowers. They are so pretty and such a bright spot in the early mornings. You've done them justice!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Elaine.
DeleteSusie, I love this photo and the poem. Last year I planted a blue morning glory...this year two new starts popped up but the big vine died out. So I will have to plant them again. Hope you are doing well, I have been thinking of you. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
