  1. Sunflower:

    The sun sits
    Stuck

    On the wooden
    Desk

    Waiting for the
    Day

    When it can
    Shine

  3. A round globe
    Glowing with many colors
    Doesn’t roll or move
    Sitting still on the table

  4. The Day

    I greet the sun
    every morning

    waving hello

    and wilt low

    when he lays
    to sleep

  5. THE LILY


    Timid
    Thirsty

    For it needs sunlight but lives

    In dark
    Where it won’t bother to search

  6. Sun Colored Petals


    One by one
    The sun colored petals
    Drift

    To the floor
    Until all is complete
    Yellow

  8. The tall stem points down
    Wards
    Wet from water
    Brown in center
    Surrounded by yellow
    Petals

  10. The thick, green petals

    Waiting for the sun

    To blossom from the horizon

    Waiting, waiting, waiting

  13. The Three Flowers:

    The yellow sun
    flower


    and the white
    lace


    and the lilly


    stand together


    waiting


    for nothing

  14. Lonely flowers

    Yellow and white
    Petals

    drooping out the
    Vase

    Filled with water
    helping


    them survive the
    day

  15. The Depressed Lilly




    Plain white petals,

    Drooping off of the stem,

    Living a dull life,

    Just sitting,

    Awaiting death.

  16. Sunflower


    It’s bright yellow
    petals

    smiling
    on

    crooked and miss-
    ing

    but it doesn’t
    mind

    it is happy

  17. Water


    Plain, and free of sin

    Yet deadly

    But we all see

    It is clear of conscience
