by my neighbor's
sumptuous sunflowers
whose seedy faces
reach for the summer sky
propped up by their leggy stems
gracing that dirt driveway
these yellow bursts of flower power
may not linger
too much longer
for a sulky summer storm
waits wickedly
in the wings

Every year I have lived here , I anxiously await these tall beauties.They usually last a while unless a violent summer storm takes them.I make sure to catch a photo to capture each year's glory.
