Flowers, for me?
Oh, how lovely, I’ll get a vase
Optimistic tulips on juicy stalks
Peach-skin roses and irises with perky up-dos
One-eyed narcissi and peony pompoms
Don’t forget to change the water
Well-behaved calendula and
carnations calling for clean white linen
Kindly stocks play an overture
Oh, how lovely! They’re lasting well
Painstaking tissue layered ranunculus
And lilies always ambitious4
Busy lilac, rag-rug cosmos, sweetpeas running wild
Eucalyptus, baby’s breath, periwinkle, hebe
Is that pollen on the table?
Sunflower heavy heads and what’s-all-the-fuss-about orchids
Inside-out anemone and rather rude anthurim
Wilting, drooping, turning slightly brown
Oh, how lovely! Bouquet’s time is up
