If I were a flower
I would be a rose
passion follow me
where I roam
trailing petals of love
thorns of revery.

If I were a flower
I would be a violet
Faithful always
Growing in the gardens of our future
Petals of honesty
is what drives me

If I were a flower
I would be a camellia
Soft and velvety
Enticing to the eye
Softly fragrant
Extremely delicate
Yet needing touch

Were I to be a flower,
I'd be the thistle's efflorescence,
Jagged, yet lustrous-hued
In the season of my bloom.

If I were a flower
an orchid I would be
a definate warrior
it can grow where it be
surviving on mountains
rocky craters, sandy ground
its roots cling for certain
never ever giving ground.

If I were a flower
I would be the white bloom
Of the rambling jasmine
The “poet’s jasmine”
Quietly eloquent, full
Reaching past summer’s end
Into autumn’s cool

If I were a flower
I would be a peony (pee-oh-nee)
Large and fluffy petals wear
And the pink you'd see in me.

If I was a flower,
I would be a daisy,
No I am not crazy,
but petals I have many,
Each represents my love so true,
Each one you pull
It would say GOD loves you.

If I were a flower
my choice would be based
on the essence that's me,
and knowing myself
as well as I do, I'm sure
a forgetmenot I'd be.

I am a flower
Blooming each morning
Opening myself
For all to see
All the wonderful petals
of me. [comments] => 8 [counter] => 490 [topic] => 45 [informant] => YPDC_Group_Writes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => group )

I'd forgot I'd took part in this. Imagine my surprise when I was listen in the authors . . .

I must say its one of my better (of somewhat shorter) group write contributions, and whomever penned the end summed up the poem wonderfully. I'm also left wondering who's the 'forgetmenot' . . . but I think I have a clue. lol

Impressive.

Fun to read this - and I imagine that Neptune is the thistle, and SNM the forgetmenot. Interesting to see the different styles come together like this. The sum of it makes for a great read.

Thanks all.

How on earth did I miss this post?

The forget-me-not? No, no... is wasn't me. Oh, I could search for the forum thread - but if I had to guess, I'd suppose it was Timebot. ??? maybe, maybe not???
I am jasmine. Oh! how I wish I could smell it's sweet scent now!
