Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Tense Moment

Oh, oh, a human's coming near.

This makes us sunflowers a lot

Nervous in our garden here,

Because of treatment that we've got

In the past when humans come by.

Some stop and look and sniff and then

For some reason, we're not sure why,

But it happens over again,

Humans plucked one or more of us.

This human, she has just grabbed me.

So far just sniffing, I don't fuss,

Just hold my breath waiting to see.

Hopefully this human will take

A look, a sniff, but not a break.
