It's no poppy field

by Melissa   May 13, 2008


Love is not
for the weak-hearted
who fall
at the slightest gust of charm

no, it is not a fairy-tale
containing nothing but words
of white horses
and happy endings

Sometimes, love wears thorns
and cleverly hides itself
behind the gesture of a rose
or worse yet
a man with no flowers at all

    My friend, you are masterful in your writing and use of language. I have missed your writing tremendously. Because of my health and my work schedule I have not read much lately but it is nice to see you are still able to put an angels touch to the words you write.

    A cleverly written piece. Now this is the kind of poem I like to see on the boards!

    Thought provoking and the flow was good. Excellent job!
