a fanciful love story
Sweet William Came a Courting

Sweet William came a courting --
he sought the virgin's bower,
in hopes a blue-eyed Mary
might offer him her flower.
He wore his bachelor's buttons
to woo her bleeding heart.
Her baby blue eyes batted --
her petals she did part.
They asked Jack-in-the-Pulpit
if he would marry them.
She wore pink fairy slippers
and daisy diadem.
Now soon a baby's breath
will join this florid pair.
"Forget-me-not," he'll whisper,
about their love affair.

Author Notes
Just a bit of whimsy using the names of wildflowers, which are all italicized.
