Childhood Daisies
such beautiful happy flowers
easily twined into a head
wreath
he loves me
he loves me not
he loves me
a handful of sunshine
to brighten
a dreary table
day
dancing on the breeze
mingling with tall
grasses
sweet smell of summer
they curled up in the
green
white dresses covered
with petals
flowers tucked behind their ears
sweet giggles
sing song
daisy do
daisy don't
daisy will
daisy won't
daisy chain
daisy dew drops
pushing up daisies

"If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.”

I always felt it ironic that a flower had to die that we discover who does, or does not, love us. As if love required a sacrifice.
This is a lovely, reflective poem, Jemac. It keeps us young through adulthood.

i remember playing at that and trying to cheat it.
If i was at she loves me not and only two petals left i plucked both.
i really like this poem.
"white dresses covered
with petals
flowers tucked behind their ears
sweet giggles"
Gorgeous imagery, almost like being there.
