These yellow lilies are in my brother Richard's back yard. They were so vibrant that I just had to photograph them. In the poem I made reference to the fact that, in Asia, they eat the roots as a vegetable. A yellow lily usually represents joy or gaeity. They are the flower of the 40th anniversary.

This is a Couplet Sonnet.
A Couplet Sonnet is made up of 7 rhyming couplets. The unique feature is that the first two lines are also the last two lines, so the rhyme scheme is:
AAbbccddeeff AA, where the capital letters indicate the repeated lines. I did this one in iambic tetrameter.

This photograph was taken by the author himself on Saturday, July 11, 2015, at my brother, Richard, and his wife, Corinne's, 40th Anniversery party.
