1. Flowers

Flowers are given for many reasons,

Flowers that grow in different seasons.

Flowers are perfumed letters in color,

Flowers are silent words with goodly deeds.

Flowers scents with heaven’s commission,

Flowers release nature's joyful emotions.

Flowers flatters and spark the eyes,

Flowers for aroma and flowers for beauty,

Flowers from the heart that keeps beating.

Flowers for weddings, and funeral flowers,

Sadly, not seen again by those dead and gone.

Flowers for a friend sprouts appreciation,

Flowers for a partner spices romance,

Flowers for any occasion and reason,

And finding an opportunity is not hard to do.

Flowers for love, and flowers for peace,

May these flowers I pray, never cease.

2. Neither

Neither up, neither down,

Just a little bit self-centered,

smiled the narcissistic clown.

Neither hot, neither cold,

Just a little lukewarm I was told.

Neither a boy, neither a girl,

Just a little candy confused,

a mannequin pronounced.

Neither pink, neither blue,

just a bow and chain,

to describe them and they,

walking down the aisle of denial.

Neither me, neither you,

just a little bit of everything,

to sway a very naive crowd.
