Sunflowers

in
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.

"Sunflowers"
by Rebecca Kai Dotlich

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!
