Peony flowers come in,
Colors of red, pink, and white.
They sure are lovely flowers.
In them people take delight.

Their appearance looks much like,
Football mums but they're smaller.
When they're received by someone,
They make one's heart feel taller.

Some of them grow on bushes,
How I wish they grew on trees,
A turbulent breeze with force,
Might help bequeath  peonies.

Most grow off of a rhizome,
Like the ones found near my home.
