I led our group in a poetry writing based on a picture prompt of a sunflower captured one July day when my garden of sunflowers where "showing out", as my grandmother used to say. Here is my sunflower poem:

Army of Gold

There it is, an army of gold

Faces bowing allegiance

To the sun, their source.

Following in obedience

They shift as the sun

Changes position.

Soldiers in the Army of Nature

At attention and poised,

Ready to move

With their Captain Sun.

As evening closes in

The soldiers rest

Their weary heads,

Hang them in quiet repose.

"Showing out." What a wonderful way to describe the flowers' best blooming! Sunflowers really do follow the command of the sun, don't they? It's remarkable. (Very fun that you led your group in a sunflower poetry writing prompt! :)
