The Goldenrod Poem by Randy McClave

Planted into the bluegrass Kentucky sod
Comes fourth the beautiful Goldenrod,
The tall and leggy plant will begin its hour
As it is indeed Kentucky's state Flower.
The honey bees and the butterflies are happily fed
And so is the hummingbird from the flowers Golden head,
They also feed off of its enticing nectar
Being mother nature's gardener, and also her inspector.
Upon our state flag it's beauty it does bequeath
With two fellas shaking hands atop of a goldenrod wreath,
Unto nature and beauty I am indeed a lifetime member
As I watch it bloom every August and September.
