Daisy’s Dance
Daisy sways in morning light,
Soft petals dressed in purest white.
Gentle breeze, her silent guide,
Through fields wide, she glides in stride.
Sun kisses her open face,
In her grace, a quiet space.
Shadow play on green below,
Where she stands, love seems to grow.
Stars above, in night's embrace,
Find their place in her soft grace.
Moon's glow on her silent dance,
In romance, she takes her chance.
Daisy dreams in open air,
With care, she whispers fair.
Nature's child, pure and bright,
In moonlight, she finds her might.

Under night's blanket, she rests, unmarred.

Daisy’s Quiet Symphony
Dawn breaks, light spills,
Daisy unfolds, a silent thrill.
Morning dew, a tender coat,
On each petal, droplets float.
Sun climbs, shadows play,
Daisy basks in the day's array.
Wind’s caress, a gentle sway,
In the field, she stands, come what may.
Afternoon heat, a serene blaze,
Daisy thrives in the sun's gaze.
Colors vivid, spirit brave,
Against the backdrop, time she saves.
Evening descends, a cooler air,
Daisy reflects, in the sunset's glare.
Stars appear, a soft gleam,
Daisy rests, in night’s dream.

Pure White Daisies
In fields where pure white daisies bloom,
Sunlight filters, dispelling gloom.
Petals open, fresh and fair,
Gentle beauty, beyond compare.
Morning dew, like pearls on leaves,
Nature's bounty, the eye deceives.
Stems stand tall, against the breeze,
In their presence, time seems to freeze.
As dusk falls, they do not fade,
Under stars, their colors parade.
Pure white daisies, in moonlight bathed,
Silent sentinels, in night's enclaved.

Dawn's light, a gentle hue,
Across the fields, morning dew.
Illumination soft and light,

Sonnet to Daisies
Upon the field, where daisies gently sway,
A sea of white beneath the sky's vast dome.
Their faces bright against the day's soft gray,
In simple grace, they find a place to roam.
Each petal tells a tale of silent strength,
Of resilience in the gentlest form.
Across the green, they stretch at every length,
In unity, they stand, a white swarm.
Yet, as the sun dips low and day does end,
They bow their heads, as if in quiet prayer.
Beneath the moon, their soft hues blend,
A peaceful sight, so tender and so fair.
O daisies, in your simplicity, a balm,
A reminder of the calm, a soothing psalm.
