I looked upon her beauty as a flower
I hesitated to pinch her from her stem
Instead I planted myself next to her
Where I too have flourished in a sense…..

A beautiful verse Ted and so tenderly written. Best wishes, Andrew
beautiful four verses, why pick a flower si it dies quicker, plant yourself next to that flower and grow together, excellent piece :)
Very rich in imagery and metaphor. Short poems are the hardest to write, but you managed to pack it in as few lines as possible. Well done James Papastamos
A beautiful love poem Ted I love the idea of you planting yourself next to her.
Very cute. I get the picture of someone strolling through a meadow and being stopped by a lovely flower, not plucking it but instead sitting next to it in order to continue enjoying it.
Moving. I understood and related to this one quite well; I enjoyed its message. Your use of metaphor is flawless here.
