A Homely Flower?

Is there a homely flower?

A homely flower?

 

Bees don't differentiate

when they pollinate 

while many men will only chase

 ladies who are fair of face

Boy, isn't that the truth! Funny how women aren't as particular about looks. We want a man that can reach our soul, stir us from within... Not usually caring about what he looks like on the outside (although if attractive that is a bonus I suppose)
While they are conditioned to look at the wrappings before they decide to find the woman within...
Excellent penning!

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thanks for your charming and very nice review. Your thoughts are much appreciated.

[Mark Heathcote]

Clever and fun to read with a great illustration. Please excuse me for pointing out that many women are equally biased in favor of men who are "fair of face."

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thank you, richom, I appreciate your very kind review. I value your ideas very much - you are one heck of a poet!

[MsJewel]

Thank you, Julie. I like having fun when I write and then to hear responses like yours makes me very happy. I appreciate your reviews a lot!

Because they don't understand that the beauty is the entire flower, not just the outward appearance. Nicely done Joyce.

[Joyce S. Greene]

You're absolutely right, Jack. Beauty shines in the eyes, and quite a few men are too busy looking somewhat lower down to observe that. I truly appreciate your reading my poem and leaving a very astute comment behind.

Such truth you expose in this piece. This is wonderful Joyce.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thank you for your very nice comment, Anne. I appreciate your reading my work and taking the time to leave your thoughts behind.

[icelandicblue]

It is always my pleasure Joyce.

6's wild, flowers too! that's what busy bees will do. Alas I fear you correct bout my fellow men. In the charming way you wrote it down, I don't feel so bad. :-)

[Joyce S. Greene]

Just trying to have a little fun, Tom. Thanks for your nice thoughts, they are much appreciated.

If you ask me, the bees are the smart ones! Very clever words here, Joyce. Great rhyming. I enjoyed it. Lydi**

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thanks, Lydi. I appreciate your thoughts very much.

[Tom]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ?

[Joyce S. Greene]

You're right, Tom. But the flower in my graphic has a face only a mother could love! LOL Thanks for dropping by to leave your thoughts behind.

[Tom]

Clever indeed Joyce !

[Joyce S. Greene]

Good morning, Tom. Thanks again. I will be reading poetry today - this last week was so busy I hardly had time to breathe. Have a great day!

[Tom]

Know the feeling Joyce and enjoy your Sunday too !

[Pryde Foltz]

So clever and so witty. I laughed loud.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Thank you, Pryde. Your thoughts mean a lot to me.
