Come Take My Pollen [Letter To A Bumble Bee]
Why haven’t you written bumble bee?
I have been waiting to see if you would come by.
My leaves have just finished blossoming.
They await with pollen embedded inside for you to take.
I suggest you bring more red round pollen holders
For I have plenty this year.
Or bring more of your friends to take the pollen.
I know you will use it to help other flowers to bloom.
I like that we both contain yellow.
Your half furry body of yellow
And my yellow petals of leaves.
Already I miss your buzzing noise
Please write and come soon.
For I miss your company also.
From your affectionate flower friend, Yellow Orchid.
Raindrops On Leaves
Rain patters against windows
Leaves become heavy with raindrops
Branches begin to sag under weight
Until the rains stops
Sun comes out to dry
Raindrops soak into leaves
Leaving the leaves to raise
Branches from their sag position

Sunflowers Watching What Goes By
Sunflowers bend their heads to look at passengers as they drive pass.
They smile between themselves, since they have no place to go.
Trying To Speak To You
I stare at my owner as they get ready for bed.
I follow in and out bathroom to bedroom.
I watch silently panting,
They don’t notice what know in bedroom.
But, I can’t speak to let them know.
They don’t hear or smell what I do.
They’re in bed, I come over to try.
They don’t understand me.
They say go to bed.
How can I, when there is something here.
I’ll wait until you are trying to sleep.
I will use my paws to paw your bed.
But, it’s no use.
Wish they make a device that allows me to speak to you.
