Fear of the Daisies' (Tanka)

I sit in fear as
the daisies' laugh with vengeance
at my aching heart
while plotting their revenge as
evil drips from their petals

    "the daisy's laugh with vengeance" it should be 'daisies'

    This poem made me think of the "he loves me, he loves me not" thing that people do when the pull flower petals off the stem.

    Made me feel sorta lonely. =P
