Blue Bonnet

Blue flax is among my favorite flowers, what is your favorite flower?

Blue Flax

The sun is sweet to her but blisters
and so she hides through heat of day,
curled in quiet places with her sisters
where sweetly sleeping she gently sways.

She sits alongside the dusty road,
on cooler evenings when sun is set,
with her back bent and head bowed low
in a green dress and her bluest bonnet,

her golden eyes peaking out smiling.
Oh! She has such a way of beguiling!

Is it also called ‘chickory’? If so, I ALWAYS notice it – even transplanted it in my yard; some think it’s a weed; you and I know better…
Lovely tribute
