Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Sunflower Elegy

Together the sunflowers bloomed,

Enjoying the sun overhead,

Not knowing that they soon were doomed,

Their lives cut short to end up dead.

A large form was coming toward them,

Carrying a vase and shears that

Be ways and means that would condemn

Them to a fatal habitat.

One by one each sunflower be

Snipped off and placed into the vase

In an arrangement handily,

Not all of them the sun to face.

When sunflower cutting is done,

They're allowed to die in the sun.
