Sunflowers
This morning Kate and her friend Hayley played in a sunflower field up north in Celina.
These girls will someday be in school together, so it is neat to see a friendship blooming.

Yellow faces
round
as plates;
giants growing
at the gate.
Golden guards
saluting
sky;
garden kings
with chocolate eyes.
The sunflowers were definitely on their last leg, so I have made a mental note to go earlier next year!
