SUNFLOWERS

 

They bloom in summertime

Blooms of golden orange

Heads the size of saucers

Unnaturally strange

They stand tall and straight

And super model thin

Large headed and skinny

Just like models again

Not grown for beauty

But for their numerous seeds

Ugly and ungainly

These giant unwanted weeds

Maybe I’m wrong to view them

As one of nature’s messes

But I can’t help thinking

They’re not one of God’s successes
