66 Flower Poems Iv Poem by Saiom Shriver

ELVES OF GREENING

Fruit trees pollinated
by the bees
Ants the midwives
of peonies
Birds dropp seeds
There are new trees.
Dandelions burst
from wind in the breeze.


HOW DO YOU DO

How do you do?
said the rose to the bee.
To the dewjeweled rose
said the pollenclad bee
I would rather do
than to be.


WISTERIA MIRACLE

The great pig waste lagoons
which repel the loons..
from factory farms
of silent hysteria..

breeding places of pfiesteria
cesspools of listeria

by God's grace
mysterious
can become wisteria


SPIREA

Spirea petals
fall while a spiral of
dandelion spores
to the sky aspires

SNAPDRAGONS

Snapdragons
bloom.. we need
not fear their bite
