As my sunflowers go to seed I can't help but dream of the birds that will soon visit for a quick nibble. It is so enjoyable and often comical to watch them hold on tight while waving in the breeze and pecking for a treat.
Sunflowers Shine
S outh of the garden
U nder the yellow orbed sun
N uggets of gold glitter
F or the joy of everyone
L eaves of green are staggered
O ver slender seven foot stalks
W aving at all visitors
E ncouraging nature walks
R usty browns and lemon yellows
S teal our hearts away
S hining golden saucers
H anging down to bid ‘good day’
I n the light of the summer moon
N ear the midnight hour
E very single pedal glows, releasing nature’s power........................................................by Robin Moynihan
