Along road edges and throughout fallow fields
By the hundreds you see them
The spicy mustard color of
Goldenrods.
One’s first reaction to seeing them
Is to gasp at the spectacle, so
Overwhelming is the color of
Goldenrods
What once possessed just various shades of green
Now have the tones of sunshine
That deep summer color of
Goldenrods
Soon along roads and throughout fields
Seeing wind swept mounds of snow
We’ll long for the color of
Goldenrods
