In A Flower Shop Poem by Marilyn Shepperson

In A Flower Shop



Big trumpet lilies and huge gerber daisies
Anenomes compete with colourful carnations
Many petaled dahlias sit in buckets
Alongside their cousins, lovely crysanthemums
Pots of shy violets, begonias and fuschias
Beside vases of heady perfumed freesias
Odd looking green plants with even stranger names
Ferns and leaves to bulk out bouquets
Yet out of this glorious crowded rainbow
The single red rose is still the loveliest of all.
