What a lovely poem, Brooke. So many people cite daisies as their favorite flower...so simple and so beautiful. Maybe it's because it's one of the first flowers we learn to draw and we think we're fantastic artists because they always look so pretty.
Smiles,
Indy :>)

You may well be right about the reason - I never thought of that, my perceptive friend. Thank you, Brooke :-)
Comment from Perp Ihebom
Poems about beautiful flowers conjure images of splendor in the mind. I agree with you that certain things are best left in their natural state. Nice work. kudos

Comment from Miska
Beautiful words about a beautiful little flower.
Much better to let them grow in their natural state than place them in a vase. I feel that way about all flowers and my children give me potted plants instead.
This was lovely to read. well done. regards Miska

I loved this work as I love all of your stuff. I just finished planting about 500 daisy seeds from a friend of mine's garden. We harvested them last year. I am hoping to have the whole hill where we planted them fill with daisies. I just love them. And, no, I don't pick them for a center piece. LOL I much prefer to look out my window and see them growing. No errors here. Beautifully done. :)

500 seeds - wow!!! That must be fantastic :-) Thanks, Brooke

We are not sure how many of them are viable since we harvested them ourselves but each head produces LOTS of seeds. We scattered them over the hill next to our house. I am hoping a high percent of them grow. They will reseed and spread. :)

Brooke,
I have a large framed picture and it is all daisys. It makes me smile when I glance at it. Daisys make me
happy. Yet cut flowers is a death sentence, isn't it?
The vase, a coffin. Oooooh I'm really getting dark here!
LOL This was a great poem. Kindly, Kathy

Hey Brooke,
Aside from your sharing this wonderful poem, I want to thank you for the note about "till." I never bothered to look it up, but one of my college profs took exception to my use of the word "til." He thoroughly saturated my term paper with red ink. Yes, till is the proper usage, although you and I came to realize it be different routes.
Now on to your poem. I loved it. The rhymes are varied and clever. The meter is fine. The subject matter timely, and the story interesting and cute. So, there you have it. Well done.
Ray

Ray, I always wonder about someone who would saturate a paper with red ink over trivialities - it's enough to make a brief comment once about any technical error - I'm sure your term paper represented all sorts of opinion and research that went beyond the spelling of one word. Thanks for your thoughtful review, Brooke :-)

No problem from me about till, I loved the poem. Daisies, while common, are never-the-less beautiful and you've captured that in your poem. I can visualize a field of them. Another great poem.

Hi Brooke Lovely use of colourful words and well patterned verses. Daisies are such a common flower and like you I think their beauty is where nature intended them to be. Lovely artwork work too. Cheers Gaye

Comment from tati
Dear friend,
While reading your "Daisies", I feel like praying. I find the answer; it's supposed to be "a contemplative quatrains". I love this truly beautiful prayer, it flows marvelously, with no abrupt pauses.
You've enriched me with two new words, today: jaunty (jolly, dashing, cheerful, lively) and jubilee (celebration, festivity; and made me realized that the word /fault/ could also be used as a verb: (criticize, blame, find fault with, condemn), not solely a noun.
Thank you for sharing. Regards, tati (April 22, 2009)
