Loves Me ... Loves Me Not ~*Marge Tindal*~  If I harken to the petals of the daisies I have found I would surmise you love me as the petals fall in soft surround Loves me ... loves me not I'll pluck until I satisfy my mind The one that gives the answer I want of the one I hope to find If from a field of daisies fair the answer is not found petal by petal I'll keep on pulling until you come around Then you can assure me that I need not the petal of a flower to tell me of your love for me for you do it every hour Loves me ... loves me not ... loves me ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

If I harken to the petals of the daisies I have found I would surmise you love me as the petals fall in soft surround ================ oh I love the cadence and vocab of this one so romantic and kissed with promise and anticipation lovely Margie-girl... "soft surround" .. what a poetically perfect phrase. Where the touch of the lover ends And the soul of the friend begins There's a need to be separate and a need to be one And a struggle neither wins |

the only valid test comes from the buttercup - held under chin - if skin glows golden it may mean a child loves butter - but for those of our maturity - it confirms the Daisy test. (JMHO - you're loved - far more than you imagine) |

Margie this is an absolute wonderful piece of writing. I know I'll never write even half so well, but I wish I could. Never mind as long as I can see beauty and read beauty then I shall not repine. Utterly magical and I can hear the delight in this. Excellent piece from a talented writer Love Melody :: But love me for love's sake, that evermore Thou mayst love on, through love's eternity Elizabeth Barrett Browning [This message has been edited by Melody (edited 02-12-2001).] |

I love daisies...and I loved your poem. And wouldn't it be great to have someone tell us every hour that they loved us...ok, after a while it might get on my nerves but at first it would be very nice! |

If I kept picking petals until I got the answer I wanted, there would be fields full of little daisy stems, blushing at their nudity! LOL. This is great! *S* |

I would go daisy dippin but suthern has left the field all bare and I ain't as cute as those little stems she left behind. Would ya settle for a snake shedding his skin and slithering in out of the cold......to a cowboy it is all the same anyway. |

Marge, how did you know? I had daisies in my wedding bouquet and I guess it landed on "loves me" because we are on the 46th year. And I got a box of candy today, even though I don't need it. So it does work sometimes.. Love your verse. Hugs, ME |

I just pulled off the last petal Marge and guess what? I love you! I hope you never stop writing these precious gems! Loved the picture too...write on dear poet friend! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
