By Ruth Bryant
ONE MARIGOLD
Early in spring, I went to town
for flower seeds to plant
under my eaves, expecting that
my beds would be rampant,
blooming with bits of radiance
just right for me to paint!
Summer passed by, no seeds came up
except two marigolds,
one was whacked by my erring hoe
the other one crept through button-holes
in layers of clay, and proudly stands
a token of my goals!
Blooming thereon, is one small flower
that shines like yellow gold,
taking my brush, I’m painting it
with steady strokes and bold!
All of my friends have gardens gay
with blossoms manifold,
but I am content to paint today
my only marigold!
