Thursday Think Tank, Poets United:#64 Sunflowers
End of Summer
Late August
Morphs into September
Sunflowers line the road ways and lanes
Who plants them
To come up each year
Bees gather round
Lick up their golden sweetness
Flower of the Sun
Foretells a winter
That is soon to appear

Theme Thursday: prompt Curious
Curious
Exactly what blue is the sky
How will the sun rise today
Quietly without fanfare
Or gloriously as if for the last time
Will there be a smile on your lips
As our eyes meet
What words will find their way
Upon the page as I write
What dreams will appear
When I close my eyes to sleep
I am curious like the cat

Ah yes, late August does morph into September. Here we still have 90 degrees, but that is going to change today. I love summer, hate to face winter.. Your sunflower poem really captures the NOW…
I loved all the things you are curious about, as I also think about what words will make their way to the page today. Well done, both poems, Annell.
It’s been a hot summer for us. I look forward to cooler temps! Thanks so much for your comments. Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

Loved both poems, Annell. Lovely seeing sunflowers alongside the roads…….I have a Crabby Sunflower, in a pot by my front steps. She does not like the pot. She wanted Real Earth. So she closed up her little faces, curled them inward and refused to open her blooms. I feel like a prison guard. I may have to liberate her. It will be my good deed for the day!
i am curious as a cat as well…and love sunflowers…i want to lick up the last of their goodness too before the great sleep comes…
Oh yes! Thanks for the comments! Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529
