POETRY JAM -- FLOWERS

Offering



I picked these flowers

to place at your feet

in penance for my lewd

self-centered thoughts,

which brings no solace

to the flowers

decapitated

under your toes,

never knowing why

they’re suddenly incomplete.

    Applause! Applause! I have never been the kind of woman that men bring flowers to and that has somewhat dismayed me, because I LOVE flowers. But after your poem, maybe I should not be dismayed.

    Don't make me feel sorry for flowers now - I love to get them :)

    I would like to hear more about your lewd self-centered thoughts...

    OK, this is way too clever .... just who are you referring to with your lewd thoughts?
    I love this!

    This poem forces me to use a form of comment I usually dislike:
    ROFLMAO!
    Very droll!
