Author's Note

It's not my usual marathon, but I was told by a very thoughtfully caring and wise friend that fewer words, more often, say just the right amount.

That charming and endearing piece holds a special sentiment for this reader. Being in contact, only tonight, with a dear friend of mine whose favourite flower is the daisy. As I read I too agree that short is sweet as it brought to mind the wonderful times we shared ... and it lives! Thank you so much for helping to revive sweet memories!

Daisies are a charming little flower, that seem to represent a certain nostalgic sentiment for many, and I think they are lovely to look at.
Some even pick their petals to decide if they are loved: "He loves me, he loves me not."

I am so happy my little bit of verse brought you some sweet moments, too … a big thank you HUG, Kitty! ⁓ Richard : )

Like the lady in question there is that special delicateness about the flower that endears one, it's frail, delicate, yet resilient nature. Your choice ~ spot on! Special friend ~ like none other! ...a jewel.

[Richard🖌]

I can only imagine how much more lovely your daisies will be, Stella. : )

[SJ Mullins]

That is beautifully penned, Richard. Daisies are my daughter's favorite flower. I always enjoy reading your poetry. Well done! :)

[Richard🖌]

Gosh darn, Suzan!
You're going to have to administer 50 lashes with a wet noodle for not seeing your warm and happy review sooner … LOL!
I like your daughter's taste in flowers, and certainly that you always enjoy reading my humble little efforts, too.

Thank you, Suzan, for the lovely, encouraging compliments, too … hugs to you, M'Dear! ⁓ Richard : )

[SJ Mullins]

You ate most welcome! ❤

[Salem Fitzgerald]

I really love the simplicity of this piece, but it also says a lot. It has an almost wise feel to it, like you know something we don't. I love that learning-feel.

[Richard🖌]

You are a most lovely and keen-minded young lady, Jacqueline, who sees with far more than her eyes.
Thank you warmly for loving anything me, and for making an olde bard's heart dance … I know a lot. ; )

Blessings 'n hugs! ⁓ Richard

This is definitely different from your norm ~ but still a very nice presentation of your excellent poetic & artistry skills.

[Richard🖌]

Why, thank you, Mary Jo!
How nice to see you here reviewing one of my more condensed and lighter little pieces of sweetness.
Your compliments let an olde bard know he hasn't yet lost all his edge.

Big hugs! ⁓ Richard : )

[heavenscentgirl1]

Thank you again Richard, it's good that you allow us to see the lighter side of your pen occasionally my dear friend.
Hugs,

Humbly, yours.

Your friend was correct. Sometimes less is more. Once again; beautiful presentation. Each word like a petal...each pluck followed by a drop...evaporating into a warm thought...slowly falling away...lulling the reader deeper into an abyss of loveliness.

[Richard🖌]

Darn it, M'Dear!
The site is not notifying me of reviews again, but this certainly takes nothing away from the fresh beautify and gentle caress of your sensational words … I love them each and every one; especially, that your poetic voice feels so sweet upon my senses.

My warmest, most grateful hug to thee, Dear Lady-Poet! ⁓ Richard : )

[Angelheart1]

Your words brought to mind beautiful lyrics from an old Eddy Arnold song:

"I'll give you a daisy a day dear
I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll love you until the rivers run still
And the four winds we know blow away".

These are very nice sentiments you have shared here Richard. Angel

[Richard🖌]

Aw, Angel!
I've heard that one before … you are thoughtful and sweet to share it with me in homage to this lovely little poem on the bright, romantic daisies.

Thank you so very much, Dear Poetess! ⁓ Richard : )

[J. J. Nightingale]

I wish love was as easily acquired ..
This is soft, beautiful.real.....nice Image.

[Richard🖌]

Thank you ever-so warmly,Dear Jasmine! : )
The sweetness of your compliments on the poem and image blesses an olde bard for his earnest toil.

To me, love it easy; it is people who make it so unnecessarily complicated … LOL!
Thanks again, M'Lady … hugs! ⁓ Richard ; )

[J. J. Nightingale]

OOooo, I love tulips, too … aren't they so very special, so many varied colors, textures, and shapes to treat the most discerning lover of flowers.

How wonderful to touch another's emotions … I am truly grateful for your appreciative words and favors found in this wee little poem! ⁓ Richard : )
