Flower Poems

Poems on The Beauty of Flowers

Can one conceive of any reason for a flower's beauty excepting our ability to enjoy their exquisite splendor? Of course there are scientific reasons for flowers beautiful colors such as attracting animals to spread nectar and enabling them to reproduce. Just the same, there could have been many other ways to allow for plant species to reproduce. It is my belief that the world is beautiful so that we could have the pleasure of enjoying it. A flower is a testimony that the world is designed for our enjoyment.

1. I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud

Poet Introduction

Top 500 Poem 92
- By William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Honestly! How lovely is this poem when read aloud. I can see the yellow heads of the daffodils doing their sprightly dance! And, when in the meditative state, I can feel them in my heart...

2. Nature's Way

Poet Introduction
- By Alora M. Knight
- Published: April 2018 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Poem About Smiling Makes The World A Better Place

Is there anything as tranquil
As a brightly glowing jonquil
That stands in sweet serenity,
A part of nature's tapestry?

Is there anything as tranquil
As a brightly glowing jonquil
That stands in sweet serenity,
A part of nature's tapestry?

A flower that never questions why,
The rivers flow and birds will fly,
Content to fill part of the plan,
To beautify the world of man.

If we would only realize
We, too, can help to glorify,
To find within each passing day
A happiness along the way.

A loving hug or cheerful smile
Can help to make a life worthwhile.
If all would lend a helping hand,
We soon would have a world so grand.

3. Pretty Ballerinas
- By Paul Holmes
- Published: February 12, 2023 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Pretty pink ballerinas
Dancing all in a row,
On thin, tenuous stems,
Such a beautiful show.

Pretty pink ballerinas
Dancing all in a row,
On thin, tenuous stems,
Such a beautiful show.

Pretty pink petals
Hang carefree in warm air
Stirring a sense of happiness
Simply by being there.

Did I hear a tinkling sound
As a gentle summer breeze
Blew amid red flowers,
The bushes and the trees?

Their dance is so special
I just have to stand and pause,
Looking in admiration
I prepare my applause.

But then, they give an encore
A delightful little ballet,
Such beautiful Ballerinas,
In their presence I have to stay!

4. Crimson Rose

Poet Introduction
- By Sylvia Winters
- Published: March 2013 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
A sign of beauty,
A symbol of grace.
Its pride runs strong
At a very fast pace.

A sign of beauty,
A symbol of grace.
Its pride runs strong
At a very fast pace.

It's wild like a wolf,
It's gentle like the breeze,
And it has a burning honour.
It's not eager to please.

But carelessness pays.
It is armed with thorns.
It'll laugh while you're bleeding
As your skin gets torn.

It is loved worldwide,
But don't be fooled by its pose.
It holds ancient, dark secrets.
Beware of the Crimson Rose.

5. The Rose
- By Billie Jo
- Published: May 2013 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
You're Beautiful As Yourself

The sun went away
The sky went black
Up came the wind
I fell on my back

The sun went away
The sky went black
Up came the wind
I fell on my back

It started to rain
I began to sink
Then I lifted my head
And took a drink

I perked myself up
And said "please don't cry"
And wiped off my petals
Until they were dry

The clouds soon parted
And out came the sun
The beauty in me
Has only begun.

6. Field Of Wild Flowers
- By Shelagh Bullman
- Published: December 2018 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
I am laying in a field of wild flowers
With colours so intense it takes my breath away
All dancing in the summer breeze
In rhythm with my heart

I am laying in a field of wild flowers
With colours so intense it takes my breath away
All dancing in the summer breeze
In rhythm with my heart
All with their unique special fragrance
Complimenting each other
It makes the air feel its bathing
In a tub of the sweetest perfume
This is a magical place to be
No people no sounds just me
and this beautiful field of magic
Troubles melt away in this sun-kissed paradise
Time stands still and dreams are created
My dreams.....
In this beautiful field of wild flowers.

7. A Flower
- By Aldora Sparrow
- Published: October 2008 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Have you ever heard
of a flower that never needs
Water, soil, or sunshine?

Have you ever heard
of a flower that never needs
Water, soil, or sunshine?

A flower that stays in full bloom
Through summer and winter
Through good times and bad

A flower that rarely gets smaller,
growing endlessly.
A few lost petals,
A little droop,
but, without a doubt,
it will always regrow
into something more beautiful.

I have one of those.
I call it Love.

8. Flowers
- By Pearlyn
- Published: February 2015 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Poem About Human Characteristics Of Flowers

They have no mouth, but seem to speak
A thousand words so mild and meek.

They have no eyes , but seem to see

They have no mouth, but seem to speak
A thousand words so mild and meek.

They have no eyes , but seem to see
And bury thoughts into me.

They have no ears, but seem to hear
All my cries, my every tear.

They have no arms, but seem to pat
When with worries my heart is fat.

They have no feet, but seem to walk
Along with me in my dreams and talk.

They, I know, are the flowers so nice
That spread their fragrance a million miles.

Grow a few and then you'll know
How your life is fresh and new.

With a smile so broad, I thank my God,
Whose work to imagine is really too hard.

9. Easy To Grow
- By Constance Kettle
- Published: June 2011 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Poem About Caring For Your Plants

We carefully tuck them
All into their beds,
Then pinch, poke, and coax them,
Remove their spent heads.

We carefully tuck them
All into their beds,
Then pinch, poke, and coax them,
Remove their spent heads.
We cross them, then toss them
Or force them to grow.
We lovingly boss them
And drench with cold flow!

We mass them and class them
And make them eat dirt,
And seldom do ask them,
"Does anything hurt?"
With relish, we shear them
In sun's morning shaft;
No questions nor qualms,
Make them partners in graft!

We scrutinize field guides
To learn what it takes,
Dig up and divide then,
Or tie to the stakes?
We worry and wonder
Just what should we do
When red rose goes under,
Replace it with new?

We smell them and hold them
When bloom is complete
Then pridefully show them
Put rocks on their feet.
We train and contain them,
And cleverly name them
(as most clever names go),
"guaranteed hardy"
And "real easy to grow"!

10. Roses And Lilies

Poet Introduction
- By Andrew A. Charette
- Published: January 2020 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
The Harsh Reality Of Winter

Roses and lilies, all covered in white.
An image of beauty this winter night.
The first snow is breathtaking to behold.
The end of fall and the beginning of cold.

Roses and lilies, all covered in white.
An image of beauty this winter night.
The first snow is breathtaking to behold.
The end of fall and the beginning of cold.

No more colorful leaves falling from trees.
No more hayrides or carving up turkeys.
Now is the time for snow angels and sledding,
When Christmas cheer has just begun spreading.

But the cold brings with it more than just snow.
For under that white canvas, nothing does grow.
As the days get shorter and the nights longer,
Some wish they could be a little bit stronger.

Cold to you may be when you can see your breath,
But to those beautiful flowers, cold is death.

I live in Australia; we are experiencing devastating bush fires. Snow seems like a wonderland by sheer
contrast. Lovely poem, well deserved.

11. Rose In Full Bloom
- By Ishan Malik
- Published: February 2006 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Poem About Roses

Rambling down a cobbled pathway,
I stumbled upon a wild rose,
Deep garnet red,
Velveteen petals each curled to perfection,

Rambling down a cobbled pathway,
I stumbled upon a wild rose,
Deep garnet red,
Velveteen petals each curled to perfection,
Luminescent and innocently pretty,
A coy damsel oblivious of her beauty,
Fading away unadorned and unsung,
Looking at me, she blushed
I stood love stung, adoring her,
Borrowed a steam bearing a bud
Planted her proudly in my garden,
Every day, day after day,
I watched my rose break out of its chrysalis,
Groomed it with devout care,
Nurturing it with fertilizer,
Admiring it with every moment,
Watching it grown and come into full bloom,
Tall and elegant till it grew
And looked down on me!

12. The Dandelion Vase
- By Jennifer L. Holte
- Published: November 2006 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
This vase may be quite tiny,
but its importance is monumental and grand!
For the love that went into each picked 'flower,'
was carefully chosen by your child's small hand.

This vase may be quite tiny,
but its importance is monumental and grand!
For the love that went into each picked 'flower,'
was carefully chosen by your child's small hand.

How important these pesky 'flowers' become'
and how great they will make your day,
when your child comes running across your lawn'
'I picked these just for you,' they'll say!

No other flower can show your child's love,
than that of the dandelion in bloom!
For sometimes in the thicket of weeds,
God's love is revealed to you!

So each time you use this vase,
remember how great the reason!
For nothing can compare to the love of a child,
when the dandelions are in season!
