Come up with a rhyming story (under 200 words) with a theme of California Poppies as sun worshippers<|im_end|>

Orange like the sun, and round just like it too, the California Poppy knew exactly what to do. When the rays touched its petals in the early morning light, it would stretch out to greet them with all its loving might. It would form a circle in the image of its master, chanting all the while in silence, "Wherever you go I'll follow after!"

The sun loved its mini-me's dotted across the hillside back and strove to give them all they need, for energy she did not lack. When she reached her zenith in her journey across the sky, their stems would raise in formation for each lingering goodbye. As the gloaming came around each night they closed up in their shell, paying their landlocked homage to the sun, and hiding their tears that swell.<|im_end|>
