Ode to the Sunflower
Queen of the mountains,
you turn your head
to the first rays of the sun
and toast a new day.
You count the footsteps
of the light ricocheting
through a timbered choir,
reflecting like gold
on Lake Chatuge. Foliage turns
shades of the rainbow as fall
slips into the hills and hollows.
You spread your arms
and nod in a cool breeze,
dazzle in splendor stretching
to kiss the azure skies;
your face brightens the way!
--Brenda Kay Ledford
I wish my blogger friends a happy and beautiful season as fall arrives in your part of the country.

Oh, the joy of sunflowers. I love this poem!
This is lovely. Late summer and fall are my favorite times of the year. Your sunflower photos are gorgeous.
Beautiful post.
