BUS TOUR
The bus is cool the day is hot
The AC is turned up just right
Voice of the guide drones on
When we turn our head to the left
Next we turn our heads to the right
There are no rails now no trains to ride
Buses now do us the cross country- drive
Voice of the guide drones on
There is history to this side
Industry stands side by side
The sea we can see
For an island are we
Voice of the guide drones on
Waves return in foamy white kept
Bird of Paradise flowers wind swept

Poems In April DAY TWENTY NINE Frog-Cups in New York City
CHALLENGE:from Magaly Guerrero, she noticed a tiny plot of frog-cups or Fritillaria meleagris in bloom. so, it’s perfectly clear; we have to write a new poem that will include a flower named after an animal or a bird named after a flower.
Beautiful! Especially love the windswept flowers.

I nearly picked this flower to write of myself. I like the way it comes in only at the end of your poem, a bright spot after all that droning. :)
