 Day Lily

I am called day lily by name,

Because each flower lasts one day.

But this plant has long term life aim,

Perennially I display,

Usually in a clump of

Others like me who've taken root

To send forth bright flowers above,

For a one time daily pursuit.

Each of my flowers open up

In early morn and gone by night,

Replaced by another bloom, yup,

To continue daily delight.

Though called a day lily a lot,

Experts say a lily I'm not.
