Poetry Friday

I woke up on winter mornings

And always felt so bad

I got sick of having sleepless  nights

I went and told my Dad.

He said girl you have to wait until summer

And I will stick something on the wall

And at the end of June he put the pictures up

And I don’t feel bad at all. 

Pictures of Lilies make my life so wonderful

Pictures of Lilies help me sleep at night

Pictures of Lilies solved my puppy problems

Pictures of Lilies helped me feel alright

Pictures of Lilies

Lilies, oh Lilies

Lilies, oh Lilies

Pictures of Lilies

And then one day, late summer arrived

After I had fallen in love with Lilies

I asked my dad where Lilies had gone

He said, "Son, now don't be silly

Lilies only bloom in the summertimes”

And, how I cried that night

If only it was summer all the time

It would have been alright

Pictures of Lilies made my life so wonderful

Pictures of Lilies helped me sleep at night

I will see Lilies in my dreams

Where I always see

Pictures of Lilles

  3. Have always loved day lilies, so many colors, especially when they bloom in masses, planted almost wily-nily ... your poem is charming.

  6. Beautiful poem, Ruby Rose. We have lots and lots of beautiful daylilies that are the favorite food of the local rabbits and deer. They can literally disappear overnight.
