Red poppies
Awakening from a
Sleeping song —
White peonies
Opening to a lotus
Bloom,
Purple asters
Kissing the early
Morning sky —
Green grass
Bouncing, dancing
With the breeze —
Bluebells
Tipping their palms
To touch the earth —
Orange lilies
Signifying the healing of
Death and rebirth —
A floral choir
Singing in the garden
Of my soul.

It's usually a bad idea to use the word "soul" in a poem. Also, avoid the pathetic fallacy. Beyond that, how exactly can "Death" be "healed"? This makes no sense.
