Hi VP,
Thanks for pointing me toward this piece. It is a beautiful piece of writing and the message shows a great resolve to heal the soul of the self rather than change the way someone else is. Flows smoothly and presented in perfect format. It seems we both found something to say concerning daisies. LOL.

Wow
Hi Jewell....this is an incredible poem.
The line..'resolved to stop my crying', has so much impact. It says everything about you and this relationship....how you have been worn down by attrition and resolutely beginning the mending process.
Excellent therapy poem for you...

By the way...I confess I always used to cheat the daisey chain and petal plucking, to make sure Susan 'loved me'
I think it worked...lol

take care

martin

    I always cheated the daisy chain too! Doing so, created a dreamer, didn't it? LOL Thanks for this one too.

Hello Jewell and a great bit of therapy it is, if it works, then do it. I enjoyed the read and I follow you friend. I know a lot of flowers have fallen under foot because of broken heart. Loyd

Years ago, Rock Hudson was on a Christmas TV show and sang a song. One of the lines was "When I think of all the girls I could have been stuck with." I was really waiting to see how he was going to continue that, but he didn't rhyme the line. I like your poem. wonder where the old "he loves me, he loves me not" comes from. Another great poem. Ray.

    It would be fun to research the root of that tradition wouldn't it? Thank you for your fun review. I got a kick out of the line from the song and your little tale to go along. I appreciate your responses to my work. They are more personal than a critique and that is what online friendships are about. THANK YOU :0)

Jewel...you crack me up ....rhyme with pluck...LOL....is of course, stuck. When I was young, oh so many years ago, and bagan to think of "boys" in a way that was new and strange, I used to love me love me not with every daisy's chain.

"I can only mend myself by meeting my own need" You've come a long way daisy!! Hug!

    Thanks so much Martie! I surely appreciate your comments and personal review. The daisy chain game was a fun one wasn't it? I remember cheating the chain too when I thought it wouldn't turn out the way I wanted! Hmmm, go figure! Another lesson learned and patterns rooted there. Life is funny and simple like that.
