Words can only describe

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)

Rhymed
Heliotropism of the sunflower
Helps attract every bee
Sunlight tracking naturally makes it tower
Produces seeds abundantly

Subject of many artists canvases
From Frida Kahlo to Van Gogh
Natural radiance never surpasses
Beautiful beyond description only a poet could know
