You paint a beautiful picture of the Sunflower... I love the natural flow and splendid rhyme scheme... I appreciate the cool ending and can learn a great deal from your work.

I delight in your ending and it reminds me of the last verse of a poem I posted a while ago.

But the story's too long to put in a song,
and my usual goal is for laughter.
So I'll end this crap with the standard wrap:
they all lived happily ever after.

I love your 'light and silly!' I also love the way the sunflowers go from 'in the field' growing, to in your mouth, eating! This is cute!

Thanks Irish Rain... I'm so glad you enjoyed this one. I literally put the salted and roasted ones on salads and so many things. I love them. Did you think the one with the sunglasses looks a little like me? LOL

I haven't had great luck with sunflowers my self. But I bought a couple of packs of seeds last year. They didn't do so well. Then I found out, 'nothing happens 'til ya plant them.' LOL
So glad you liked this one Linda my friend.
Love you, Carolyn

Lovely imagery in a fluently rhyming and cheerful poem. "Bouquets to brighten our world", "I dream of Sunflowers bright and tall, Smiling and nodding to greet us all". A writing that makes me smile!

Carolyn, I had to smile with you on this one. I can't say as I like the seeds, never tried them, but the flowers are nice. Lovely picture to go with your poem. Great rhythm and rhyming. I enjoyed reading it. Miss Sally

If you are of a mind to try them, and have no seed or nut allergens, get out of the shell, roasted and salted. I put them on salads quite often.
Thank you for liking this one.

This really brought a big smile on my face.
Very humorous but also very true.

We are living in Kansas, and there are a quad
kadillion sunflowers that grow here. My
Sunshine loved sunflowers; even tried to grow
some when living in Az.

If this was submitted for a contest, you
definitely have my vote.

Your appreciative Friend, Jerry
