Ode to The California Poppy Reserve
by Jane Tawel
April 4, 2017
Giggling, gorgeous, golden girls
Orange as sacred fire,
Running from the wind, unfurl
Blooms that never tire.
Vision of a Heavenly land
Flame-glow! Purple! Yellow!
Rainbow-hued amidst the sand
Return so soon to fallow.
Oh! my darling girls and boys
Embrace the festive desert!
Orangey smiles of flowery joys
Live on in hearts forever.
