 Cosmos

I am called cosmos and do be

A multi colored flower that

Is in sunflower family,

Mexico, native habitat.

But thanks to human travel chain

I can be found around the world.

In South Africa on high plain

Widespread be my flowers unfurled.

I got there as imported seed,

During time of Anglo Boer War,

Mixed by accident in horse feed.

I just kept sprouting more and more.

Why called cosmos, I am not sure,

Must be universal allure.
