-You wrote a good poem with daisies as the central focus.
-Effective imagery and rhyme.
-I like the second line with "sunburnt field."
-A good concluding line with the refrain
often used when growing up and picking off the
petals one by one.
-Good luck in the contest.

Thanks, Pam. I was up in my field today, and the daisies were out.

I love that you've tied in seasons and the inevitable daisies via their infamous wisdom to our ponderings on the nature of love. I also smiled at the idea that we have to wait for fresh daisies before we'll be able to tell whether somebody loves us :-)

Thanks, Mike. You're right. Sometimes you have that love question come up in the winter, and you have a long wait to find out if she really loves you.

You did a great job with the prompt, very clever and creative. The carefully chosen rhymes work well without force and create a smooth rhythm like jazz in a smokey bar. Thanks for sharing.

The author's words are engaging, familiar, fun, descriptive and creative. I find it so interesting that so many poets find the daisies "he loves me, he loves me not" something to write about! I remember I used to love doing
it myself! The poem flows and connect well. I like the title for this poem!

If you love yourself, you know that God loves you, your parents should love you, your friends, your siblings, cousins, etc., etc. c'mon now do not be greedy. How many people do you want to be in love with you? :))

Thanks, Jake. There are defective daisies out there, so sometimes you have to use more than one.

That is certainly a wonderful little poem. Daisies are lovely flowers and love me/love me not is a great little game to foretell the future of a relationship. Best of luck in this contest! Evi

Thanks for sharing this poem for the contest. You made a nice choice of daisies (the love flower) for the subject. The phrase that stuck out for me was "a sunburnt field." Good job.

Thanks, Ted. That phrase came to me at the last minute. I had finished the poem and was about to post it when it popped into my head.
