PETUNIAS



Laughing merrily

are the petunias

oer the suggestion

that they're impecunious.



The lilies are gilded

by the sun's gold

They need no

hoarded and cold gold.



Whether they don or doff

duffel bags

spinning joyfully are

daffodils

and their roots delve

in the dell.







ABOVE THORNS SWAYS THE ROSE



Above the rose sways

arrayed in sun's rays

.. above the fray

.. perfume she sprays



Above alternating thorns

.. 1 does propose

and the other oppose



above the thorns

sways the rose



PLUCKED ROSE



He gave her a plucked rose..

not knowing it was from Colombian

fields in which women heavy with

child

labored.. plants doused in plant killers..

which cause cancer..and neurotoxins

which destroy the mind..

creating the sterility

which leads to senility



He gave her a plucked rose

with wondrous scent

not knowing it was sprayed

before being sent..



so that his touching love's

fingers

were laced with

poison which lingers



He gave her a plucked rose

.. not realizing that rose

bushes have feelings



not realizing that bees

trapped in her folds

had died in transit
