Two Sunflowers Move In The Yellow Room Poem by Nancy Willard

Two Sunflowers Move In The Yellow Room

Rating: ★4.5


'Ah, William, we're weary of weather,'
said the sunflowers, shining with dew.
'Our traveling habits have tired us.
Can you give us a room with a view?'

They arranged themselves at the window
and counted the steps of the sun,
and they both took root in the carpet
where the topaz tortoises run.

Yes, it is. This is what you call plagiarism!
