"Poppies"
Poppies
By Nora May French
Where saffron poppy-petals curl apart
Deep glowing lies the warmth of summer's heart.
Touch but a poppy petal; satin sleek,
And know the living silk of summer's cheek.
This curving blossom cup beneath her gaze
Brims with the filtered gold of perfect days;
Then over the hills she smiles--and one by one,
Lo! poppies quiver yellow to the sun.
