A lawn without a weed it seems
would satisfy most gardeners dreams
But not for me I much prefer
to see a daisy here and there.
Like stars which decorate the night
these tiny flowers glowing white.
A sight which I find pleases me
much more than boring greenery.
My neighbours say it’s a disgrace
but dare not say it to my face.
They know what my reply would be
and so they whisper secretly.
About the way I keep my lawn
with daisies strewn and left unshorn.

There's something special about daisies. Flowers that you remember from childhood, the daisy chains and bunches taken home and put in eggcups. Lovely poem Ivor as always a treasure to read. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
Oh, absolutely agreed... some of the so-called 'weeds' are the most beautiful, simplest of flowers. (And I am wondering now what the distinction between a 'weed' and a 'flower' is - who decides. It should be me! :)) t x

Daisies are so complimentary of anything green, whether grass, weeds, or even a green vase! I LOVE daisies, but the fragrance is so overpowering. Like this little flower feels it has to overwhelm you to get your attention. A lovely little 'almost spring' offering, Ivor. Lovely! Linda :) :) :)
