A Sunny Stem to Hold

Wiggling out of the warm mitten, my paws were begging to greet the morning streets! I slipped under the front door and bounded down the sidewalk until sweet floral scents led me to a flower shop's wooden display crates. Leaning right against a zinc watering can was a small wicker basket packed with colorful paper flower tags and slender green florist wire. I grabbed a tag printed with sunny marigold stripes using both front paws, twisted a springy green wire around its punched eyelet, and hoisted it upright. Planted firmly beside a bucket of terracotta pots, my cheerful striped blossom stood proudly in the breeze!
