At a loss,
To times gone past
My thoughts return;
Gloomily on blossoms have I thought,
This spring gone by.

Alongside the path
Fresh water flows, and
In the willow’s shade
Just for a little while
Would I take my ease…

But rarely
Did he visit-now
‘Tis all in the past, and
Since then in the garden
Every single trace has gone.

The Annual Flower Trial Garden at Colorado State University was established to allow students, researchers, industry representatives, homeowners and extension personnel to learn, teach, and evaluate through horticultural research and demonstration projects conducted in the unique environmental conditions of the Rocky Mountain/High Plans region.
So…officially it isn’t about beauty
virtue beyond virtue
beauty beyond beauty…
just a poppy!

how cool it is!
in summer, beneath trees
as if in flower.
