Different Hours, Different Flowers Poem by Dyhanara Rios

I spotted some sunflowers:
Concealing the lawn in a blanket of gold,
In the early dawn it’s a beauty to behold.
Covered in glistening, glass drops of dew,
Petals waving in the wind, a visceral view
That I took a picture of to save
For another day.

I spotted some moonflowers:
Where were they that afternoon?
I suppose they prefer to bloom
Only under the silver moon.
When the sun rises, they will retreat
Into their quiet, closed-budded sleep
For another day.

I spotted some starflowers:
Five pointed purple petals,
Embossed with yellow veins.
Perhaps I saw these in a dream?
But that story is better saved
For another day.
