Model Poem

Daisies
By: Connie Warnek

In the democracy of daisies
every blossom has one vote.
The question on the ballot is
Does he love me?

If the answer's wrong I try another,
a little sorry about the petals
piling up around my shoes.

Bees are loose in the fields
where daisies wait and hope,
dreaming of the kiss of a proboscis.
We can't possibly understand

what makes us such fools.
I blame the June heat
and everything about him.


Petals

By: Sam Massey

In the monarchy of the rose
No other flower has a say
The question of the day is
Are they lucky enough to be picked?

If not today maybe another,
Feeling sorry for their wilting petals
Falling to the floor in silence

Butterflies are flying free in the room
where all that isnt a rose wiats and wishes,
praying for luck to bless them
They can't begin to understand


what makes them so blind.
They blame the Holidays spell
and everything about her.



Sam Massey's Petals was modeled from Connie Warnek's Dasies
