Comment from Domino
Now I know, Brooke, why I miss out on romance - I live in a flat without a garden and don't get any kisses, sob! ;-)
'sing me a sunrise serenade' - love it!
I couldn't get into the flow and dunno if there's a meter here I'm missing. Anyway, a lovely whimsy that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Best wishes, ray xx

This is a poem that you read without trying to impose a meter on it - I actually worked on its having a decent flow. Thanks, Ray :-)
Comment from Janelle
Hey Brooke, what a lovely prompt for a poem! I love the old fashioned flowers, like Grandma's bonnet and Love in a Mist and forget-me-nots, they have such unusual names and are usually very pretty.
I think you are so clever writing this poem about a young girl who is trying to hard to have her beau propose to her and utilising all the names of those flowers when doing so. Clever lady, lovely poem! Regards, Jan

Hey, sometimes a girl has to just knock the guy over the head and stop being subtle! LOL Thanks so much for your truly lovely comments, Jan. Brooke :-)

You're right! In my case I had to break up with him to get him to see the light! :)

ah, when I read that PM, I thought I was in luck! Ray's not on your fan list, is he? He'll be halfway across the Atlantic on Easyjet by now if he is ;-).
It's great when you get an inspirational wellspring of material like that, and you've crafted a lovely poem from the flower names. Wonderful!

Oh, Mike, if I were to kiss you, it would be like getting a good night kiss from your mum. LOL You're a sweetheart - it's not yet 6 am and already you have me blushing! :-) Thank you, Brooke

You always amaze me with your creative ability to Wow us. You think out of the box and that's why you can write like you do. This is elegant with a nostalgic charm.
Lovely in everyway.

Oh, how lovely! I will have to google that (I hope there are pics)--maybe I can get my husband to plant some of the varieties that can grow here. Anyway, i loved the flow of this poem. The flower names gave it a wonderful old-fashioned feel that was refreshing. Thank you for the educational and enjoyable read.
Hugs and smiles,
Diane

Dear Brooke, x x x x x in response to your title :+). You never cease to amaze me- -now look at this post for example- -your mind must be rolling in rhyme, rejoicing in rhythm and waiting to write- -and that you do. I either have no sixes left or I just have no sixes for you- -either way- -I have no sixes and I am sorry, for this almost 'demands' one. I'm positive you've gotten some for you've managed to slide me off the front page. I know why- -you can hear me ambidragging, with the hitch in my gitalong, up the review list and you can almost feel my breath ;+P.
Well now with this post. Metaphorical and yet not- -like so many of your writes- -always seem to have another meaning as well as the one presented. A beautiful love poem with a perfect ending.
Love the absolute novel use of the flowers = =not contrived or forced but flows with the beauty of each line. You've managed some wonderful alliteration particularly in the first verse which I appreciate.
You have gone bonkers with your wild flowers- -and I'm lovin' it.
This is almost a continuation of the 'Pretty' poem.
Well crafted and a joy to read.
Believe it or not I'm going to make a suggestion: I think in the third verse, last line 'only' should come before 'tie'- -I can't believe I'm even suggesting this.
Thank you so much- -a delight for your 'book' on wildflowers.

Charming, and really a lovely poem. Leave it to you to turn heirloom and antique flower names into a beautiful poem like this one. Thank you for sharing such a sheer piece of loveliness.
