The Wyoming Paintbrush – Gives a vibrant rush;

Flaming, reddish hues – Seem to pierce right through;

These plants seem to burn – Don’t touch! Flaming ferns;

But, that’s in my head – There’s nothing to dread;

Only burning bush – The one Moses looked;

That was way back then – No fire in this plant;

Lots of energy – In this tiny thing;

Never cease to think – Nature’s amazing.
