It's the thought that counts

The most romantic poem ever

It's the thought that counts

 

I bought my love a lotus flower

with perfect leaves and petals

it smelled of sweetest honey

but then I ate it whole

I bought my love a gilded ring

it shined with glitz and luxury

then it (accidentally) fell down my throat

was totally not my fault

I bought my love a little ferret

smoothest fur and cutest whiskers

that one is actually made of meat

anyway, he was probably a jerk

I bought my love a box of chocolates

I feel like you know where this is going

sorry for eating all your stuff

This made me giggle.. I love it!

.. maybe you should've bought her a couple sandwiches first, then the cute ferret might've been safe!

That is a delightfully clever review, thank you for your time and your thought.

This was great, Ts. I loved "then it 'accidentally' fell down my throat was totally not my fault"

I like your imagination, lol.

I'm glad you like it, I wrote it for a girl who was actually insulted when I presented it to her. Your words and thoughts are always welcome.

[Nix is typing...]

Lmao, how could ANYONE be insulted by this???
I'd probably die laughing if someone ever sent this to me.
I wish I could make funny things like you, but my works always have to land on the serious side (Like our collabs) of things for some reason. I think our newest one is probably gonna be my favorite on my entire profile. You know...because a lot of it is yours.

As always,
Nix ❤️

As one who has scorned love & romance poems at the cafe for 6 years, I'm delighted to see a spoof on the whole myth that there's anything like perfection in the pursuit of love & romance. Humans are banal & self-absorbed -- they often make love all about oneself. This, to me, is the brilliant symbolism in your poem. The narrator is making this whole romantic pursuit about himself & he does it so adorably, it's like he knows she will think he's being SO IRRESISTIBLE! . . . in reality she thinks he's an a*****e -- again, the true beauty of this poem . . . the irony . . . this guy is gobbling down his chances of snagging this lady in the long run! But then again, many women put up with a ton of crap from guys like this, so maybe my interpretation is way off kilter (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

The self-obsessed abusive jerk always seems to get the girl. Nobody's tossing their panties at a kind and generous poet. Thank you for another read and review, once again you've bubbled my mind and sugared my time. I actually wrote this for a girl, and she was offended by it.

:) this is smile worthy
And probably all she needs is a kiss

Ha, this poem made me smile. It started off with such loving thoughts and they somehow waned. It must have been his fault, you did use the word jerk. I have to confess I have been like that in the past with chocolate, except him indoors can eat it all now because I found out I was intolerant to dairy. Some would say that was just desserts :))

[Gee]

Try telling that to a partner at Christmas
" what did you get me honey ? "

" well, I thought about getting you a diamond ring but ended up getting you nowt"
