![]() Pollen SeasonA Poem by Ben JonesI see the flowers watching me In the corner of my eye And I know they turn to follow me As I warily pass them by They seem to pop up everywhere I’m in fear for my life There’s a crocus in my garden I suspect it has a knife The tulips mug pedestrians While the daisies hold them down The orchids throng their sordid beds In parks of ill renown Daffodils are widely known To traffic drugs for money The roses mock the handicapped And think that AIDS is funny Forget-me-nots are racist They’re a monochrome bouquet You should never trust a marigold For they quickly go astray Foxglove can be terminal And belladonna too So I’m going to watch the summertime Through a sheet of glass or two © 2016 Ben JonesReviews
