Secrets, that's why pansies have the look on their faces. I enjoyed this wonderfully crafted piece you offered about the meaning of the bud. Best of luck in the contest.
God bless,
Steve

I like poems that make me think and often the poems with fewer words make me think more. I like the picture that you chose and I love the way your words flow :)

I did enjoy the meanings of the flowers. Much in the same vein are jewels have meaning i.e amethyst for peace, love and protection. As a child, we used to fire the heads of daisies at our classmates. Mother Nature would not have been happy. K xx

Thanks for the nice review and rating, Kay. I guess we put meanings to everything. No she wouldn't be happy about mistreating her flowers like that.

Budding Feelings is an excellent atom poem. I enjoyed learning what the various flowers mean. Great choice of a daisy for your artwork. Daisies do make us happy.

Nicely done.
Blessings

Excellent

This is a new style of poetry for me ... so simple and clean. I enjoyed reading it with the meter it offers. The final stanza left me a bit puzzzlied, but I will pursue the meaning, as suggested. Thanks for sharing this!

Comment from Shanbreen

Excellent

I like the explanations of what each flower symbolizes. When I have to take flowers to someone, I am at complete loss at which flower is right for the occasion. Mostly, I mix them all up.=)

Hi Shanbreen,
Thanks for the review. Maybe a bouquet of them all can show your range of emotions for the recipient of the flowers.
