Good for you, Jewell! I am proud of you for standing up and saying, "That's enough!" I like your note, and I think you would have gotten a whole lot of satisfaction out of forcing a rhyme with "pluck"! Just one note on word usage:
"resorted to stop crying"--I suspect you mean "resolved to stop cryiing". "Resorted" is what is called a transitive verb, and is usually followed by "to" and a verb ending in "ing" like "lying"
Good show, m'dear! Gerry

Thanks Jude. It's workable but he's not willing to work.
Comment from Adam Smith
Hey, the flower in the picture looks a little bit like your hair! LOL (Beautiful, I mean).
This is really good and I really think you have a very strong message here. You must have enough meaningful and helpful pieces to put a book together by now. You have terrific insights and you express them in such a way as to be immediately recognizable by your voice, and to be easily understood without too much effort, but without a lack of poetic flair.
That was a mouthful. My fingers are numb from typing it.
I loved the use of "dame;" a word I thought long since dead.

Oh my...and to wonder how any man could resist you! Very nice. I enjoy the rhythm of this, and I love the anology to the daisy. I might replace 'childhood' with 'childish', but that's just me. As usual, I can easily enjoy and relate to your style.

Oooh I like replacing childhood with childish! Thanks for the suggestion and the kind compliments. It's my fiesty red headed flair he can't handle. Oh well.

Hi Visionary,
Nice job! I really enjoyed reading this poem. You've chosen great words, and paid a lot of attention to rhythm and rhyme. I wouldn't ask you to change a single thing.

Hi Jewell. This is a very well written piece of rhyming poetry. I enjoyed your imagery very much, eg, when my heart became the petal That was plucked ot piece by piece. Excellent
