To hurry down the bustling street Fleet of foot… to float on air Rushing to my dearest…..meet Slip in florist……..open there The tulip stands with head aloft Resplendent in it’s charging red A whistling happy tune is doft As four I pick and put to bed Carnations sweet and scented well I tuck them in…... in fine array The small pink petals proudly swell Sunbeams on a sunny day The freesia with its heady musk In dappled colours lying there Reminds me of a summers dusk I straighten them with every care The bold white Lilly trumpets out With dewy tear upon it’s stem I’m beautiful it wants to shout I have no doubt …six of them And then at last the thorn less rose I gently lay them centre stage A dozen scarlet ones I chose And wrapped them all in crinkly cage A simple message neatly penned Upon the small white greeting card Words of love I swiftly rend It came so quick it wasn’t hard This bouquet now I wrap in love Or my fumbling fingers try to do Tis for my angel from above With simple words ‘I love you’ Jon Mewett |

What a wonderful poem Jon!! I love it all the way through!! Especially the way to describe the flowers so well...each with it's own.......personality. I like the way you describe the Lily in particular,they are a little vain aren't they ;] This is a VERY sweet and very good poem,looking forward to reading some more.  swampola =-] And there she weaves by night and day, a magic web of colours gay.~Tennyson |

This bouquet, so lovingly described, would be a welcome present on it's own. I can smell the roses and the peppery fragrance of the carnations. Heady! |
