The daisy is often described as sunny.

I did a google search for the phrase

and reached for my sunglasses at the fourteenth page,

scrolling past Facebook's "Sunny Daisy Girl"

wearing dangly earrings of ... you guessed it.

She's probably the one who sighs

and buys Sunny Bath Confetti
for the Creative Bride

and hides her dirty laundry

inside shabby chic wicker -

Sunny Daisy on the side.

Matisse, I'm sure would be dismayed

to see his work of art displayed -

betrayed upon a vinyl peva shower curtain ...

"background clear" the ultimate cut.

But.

Lest we forget ....

The daisy has a right to cry

to scream aloud and wonder why

to shake its florets at the sky

to grump and frown to pump and kick

and thrust and pound
and toss its petals to the ground

and shriek and stomp and pout and moan

and carry on

until it's done.

I'm having problems with Blogger... this post was made in March and because I've been ... "busy" ... I just discovered it lingering in limbo. Also having problems with connections and subscriptions. I now have help requests in and hope it will be fixed soon!
