snapdragon crimson clover
foxglove wallflower
where the wildflowers grow
a name
hides from the hands that delve
tall grass grieves to show
the flame
which lost itself
in the moments set aglow
a claim
by seedlings' scatter
where the wildflowers grow
skins rename
love's fire splatter:
evening primrose blazing star
baby's breath bleeding heart
.
.

First time I ever remember wishing I was a bumble bee. You trasport me to so many places. One day I shall have to compensate you.

it is like you were using the flowers as writing tools.with the ink being nectar the words could not be any sweeter!

I like the way the flower remains what it is throughout,yet the imagery is stark and beautifully effective. as Shakespeare so aptly put 'a rose by any other name would smell as sweet

Just beautiful and I love the style as well. An inspiring choice of words that seemed to place me amongst the flowers.

Very nice ...
but you might want to fix this:
hides from the hand that delve (either "hands that delve" or "hand that delves")
otherwise, good job. -
