In My Mother's Flower Shop

I knew all the flowers
In my mother's shop by name
And watched the way they would
Fawn and saunter to be bought
The hibiscuses were my least favorite
With their delicate wave
Holding themselves above the rest
The roses were too open
In their desire and passion
So I ignored them as well
The snapdragons were a paltry trick
With their teasing winks
Drawing attention from the customers in heaps
The poppies weren't my favorite
Though I enjoyed their sleepy smiles
They killed too sneakily, too well
The mums were all confused,
Unsure if they should flatter or cry
So they did both with a smile
The day lilies held their roots
In the heavens and so could only greet
Before sunset, when they would close their eyes
The tulips were much to much like the roses,
Flaunting declarations of love and fire
At any who passed
The marigolds were my favorite,
Drawing spirits to their scent and beauty,
Customers flocked without even a wink from them
