Alas, not only the expense if the flowers but possibly a plumbing bill, because trying to flush them isn't a good idea. Maybe if a guy shells out for expensive roses, he should have in mind another gal who'd love to have them. It was a nice try, but next time try chocolates. judi

    Those flowers are mighty costly with zero payback.

A perfect picture to fit your words. If she flushes them, then she was not worth the affectionate gesture.
Well done. Had this been entered in a contest, I have no doubt, it would have been a contender.
Best wishes,
Mary

Some may never value flowers no matter how exotic and beautiful they may be. Our eyes and minds are sometimes glued to money more than what money cannot buy. Well said, dear Bill.

Bill,

Oh, yeah. I can see that. Though I wouldn't ACTUALLY recommend flushing those flowers, I get the sentiment. The image actually matches the poem wonderfully but is quite beautiful.

Nice job.

On the other hand - it does take more than flowers...

    Flowers and a cool million bucks would likely work.

Before you spend a fortune on flowers, you should spend a few hours discovering whether she is worth a live rose or one of the plastic variety, because everybody knows, some gals or just not worth it.

Darn. Those poor flowers have gone to waste. Flushing doesn't sound as good a plan as maybe composting. I think maybe the narrator needs to find out what she really liked. Some women don't like flowers as much...

    Maybe some Tidybowl or a potpourri canister.

Bill, This is a very good and well written 5-7-5 poem you have penned. You used very good descriptive words and very neat imagery. I hope you and your family have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas! Teri

You actually found a rose that shapes like a flashing toilet. I have a similar poem and I should post it now. It looks like she is not looking for love and affection.

Well done.

A true heart is hard to find. Sorry about the flowers. Cast them to the wind or make them into perfume. Sending you my best today for this sad end. Hope you're better now.
