Farewell Sunflowers...

 I have been missing my sunflowers now that they are dead, they grew really tall this year, the tallest was 19 feet, 2 inches and they adorned the garden with their cheeriness
so I wrote this poem, looking forward to planting their seed next year

Sunflowers are gone, the giant is dead
stalks that bend earthwards
long afore the maple turns red
the seeds, they drop
the giant is dead

Sunny petals turning brown
the head that is heavy
the large leaves die and drop on down  
the birds find their meal
the giant is dead

Sunshine on a dark and cloudy day
they adorned the backyard
casting gold along the way
the giants of the garden
in my memory they live once again

They left their image in seed for us to plant,
next year they will again touch the sky,
brighten the garden if they can't
sending sunshine to the dark
the giant will live once again
