Ode on a Daisy – the Poetry Bus Edition

This week it's Dominic's turn to drive the Poetry Bus & he has quite a fun gimmick for us to try. The challenge is to write a poem on something. Literally. You really do need to go to his blog to see the examples he gives – they're worth the simple click of your mouse.

So here is my attempt. I took a picture of one of our daisies (after a fabulous refreshing storm), printed the picture, and wrote my poem on the picture. I seriously toyed with the idea of picking the flower & actually writing on the petals – but I decided not to sacrifice it to this cause. The menacing looks from Dr. M. may have had something to do with that. Heh. My handwriting is fairly hit or miss, so the poem is posted below the picture.

dreams

are more

than the

their

petals
