Petunias
Starry eyed!
Petunias gazed into the sky,
The sun shining high,
Daydreaming began,
Petunia’s argued!
Who was the best?
In God’s favour,
“I am!” Chirped up Red,
The passionate one,
“No better flower than me.”
“Well” Said Purple,
Enchanting and mysterious,
Full of grace and charm.
Pink uttered!
“Mothers of course”
Compassionate and gentle”
Yellow pulled a face! “Be quite”
Turning towards the sun,
“Give me respect
I’m resting my friends”
Blue was being intimate,
But deep in thought,
“Trust is more important”
No said white! “Purity”
Innocence with dignity.
Colours just couldn’t agree,
All wanted first place,
In the kingdom of plants.
But sadly,
All equally in need of,
Water to live.
