Daisy

Daisy, my cousin that shamed the

Snow white lilies 

The daffodils play a taps,

Their trumpets buzzed a day too early

Cruel hands plucked your petals 

One by one 

She loves me, she loves me not 

And in sick glee, 

Splattered your white petals red

A flower’s last flush unseen 

Your warm embrace

I will never return

Your aroma 

I will never scent again 

On your stomach

Red spider lilies bloom 

And your beautiful petals 

Now kindly scatter
