Exploding out of their black eyes,
Not full and lush as other flowers,
More basic,
Their petals thrust outward and upward,
as if they would dislodge from their stems,
and Soar up and away!
Black eyed susans are not solitary,
always found in bunches,
All straining towards the sun,
A riotous group, though still,
seem to be in action,
You cannot ignore them,
They demand your attention,
if the Rose is the sedate Elder statesman of the flower world,
The Black eyed susans are a gaggle of preschoolers who've had to much sugar!
