I like the natural flow of language in this poem, and the upbeat tone you project.
you get the "giving" attitude across, and the rhymes seem very natural.

Sunflowers always bring a smile to my face. As you probably know, they will follow the sun as it makes it way through the day. I always thought that remarkable. As to your closing line. There is nothing wrong with being a romantic - hopeless or otherwise - and, as a former horse owner, manure goes a long, long way to helping gardens grow. Loren

This is a well written uplifting poem to brighten our day. Sun Flowers are very cheerful.
Reflect some rays of joy and care.
Look for love -- it's everywhere.
In hidden places, oft obscure,
love continues to endure..
No manure here, Lisa. Well done. Nancy:)

Ha! I was totally into the sunny sunflower vibe of this poem, and then read the last line. It made me laugh so hard. Thank you for that.

Cheers,
Erika

This is fun, uplifting, and powerful medicine for someone who is down in the dumps.
Being a sunflower is the best answer to everything I can think of.
I love the picture it sells us on the goodness that is waiting for us when we read this wonderful poem.
I had a gentle laugh when I read the part at the end in parenthesis. Or maybe this is a load of manure. This is a clever way to end this positive poem.
For the doubters in some of us.
Thanks for brightening up my morning!
Jesse

I like this poem for its wisdom. Our very outgoing, helpful neighbor next door also has giant sunflowers in the corner of her yard. Favorite lines were: In hidden places, oft obscure,/love continues to endure. How true it is that thinking of others helps distract us from our own problems. And what a funny concluding aside or ending couplet. Suggestion: 'time's get lonely' should be 'times get lonely.'
