! A Flower Is A Flower ! Poem by Linda Ori

! A Flower Is A Flower !

Rating: 2.8


I did not bring you roses
When you searched for something rare,
Instead I brought you daisies
And I hoped you wouldn't care;

And now I look behind me
With a wistful little smile -
You would have taken dandelions
And loved me all the while.

I liked your poem. Say it with flowers they say, but you said it with words, nice

Sometimes, succinctness, and simplicity, are so compendious & smacking of mellifluousity....This is an example of that statement! Rock-On, Midnight...You are most definitely, in a most auspicious groove, lassie! fjr

I don't see it as a love poem, I see it as an ode to human modesty, when it is found

Linda This is so sweet. I have written a love poem about daisies. I must find it and put it on. I have a friend who just loves natural flowers, a bunch, and not a contrived arrangement, and I am like that too. Such beautiful work. Karin Anderson
