A Crushed Flower

awwwww Jerry.....reflection in the remorse of breaking one's heart....a love lost...(and I think I know what you will say to "that") I hope she knows how you feel...doesn't matter when it happened...the apology would mean the world regardless....

Excellent scribe

xoxo Taryn

Ahhh . .. You flat out nailed it Taryn.

what she said.

Thank you, Little Poet.

Yes Amelia, it was a tragedy,  the flower was a metaphor. Thank you.

Jerry this write made my heart ache for you and your flower.. so many times I wish I hadn't said certain words that would hurt another..

heart touching write..

may her countenance bloom for you once again..

love Brenda

Ahhh . . . Brenda, my flower passed away nine years ago. You are such a perceptive.person. Thank you so much..

Hey Jerry......what a write.....sad but very inspiratinal.......there are some flowers in our life time that we will always smell their scent from the petals we crush......from the velvet touch of their skin......our lives move on after theirs passes from us......memories our hearts feel never forget their luv they brought to our lives......just my thoughts that came to me......purple luv & hugs xo :)

Ahhh . . . And what grand thoughts they were indeed, flower. . . .

"we will always smell their scent from the petals we crush"

Talk about being inspirational, that was for sure motivational to me, my friend, and thank you for it. You are a very deep person . . .

o O ... one of my favorite verses by Wordsworth

"Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower,
We will grieve not; rather find
Strength in what remains behind."

Beautifully done, Jerry.

Yep! Mr. Wordsworth said exactly what I was thinking when I wrote this poem. Thank you kindly, Ahavati, for bringing it to my attention.
