The girl with the bluebonnet heart

~

She laughed at the sun, 

its light was amusing

Chased away clouds 

with her Saturday grin

Frolicked about,

midst the wildflowers playing

Whispered a tune, 

hoping spring would join in

Counted the stems

of the daffodils yawning

Planted a dream

as the seedlings now slept

Tinted a rosebush 

in marmalade colors

Opened the gate

where aromas were kept

Tickled a leaf

while a crepe myrtle giggled

Waved to the twilight,

as day did depart

Promised to bloom

now that winter had faded

She was the girl

with the bluebonnet heart

Author's Note

The Bluebonnet is the state flower of Texas and while walking in my pasture this weekend, I could see they were all about to bloom. Over the next few weeks, the landscape of South Texas will be awash in colorful wildflowers and leading the way will be the Bluebonnet. It will be an amazing sight to see

This is a most picturesque and beautiful poem of flowers but in a way personified. It works so well with luscious images painted in different senses that like the spring awaken the sprouting and blooming of the heart. Well done this is truly beautiful
