Poppy Pageant
More little red-haired girls
Than we’d hoped for or imagined
It looks just like
A beauty queen pageant!
Sophie and I, artistic hosses
Are painting their portraits
Till our poppy bosses
Are simply stems
With great hair losses!
We’ve less than a week
To get the job done
We’re hoping for good weather
With plenty of sun!
Next Sophie and I
Will sit idly by
While sunshine and showers
Coax our sunflowers
To burst from their beds
And lift up their heads
Then we’ll paint all their faces
To show at exhibits,
And gallery places!

Three elegant views of the royal poppy, Bertie! I hope we see some of that sunshine you mentioned in your poem, instead of the 1.75 inch hail we had this evening!!!
I love the loose, fresh feel of these poppies.
The poppy is the show off of the gardens! I love that they dance on the surface of the paper!
