It's not a post-feminist world by far,
we aren't seen as equals or as fully human,
Pelosi and Clinton, now they've paid their dues,
the ones I admire are the strong and tough women.

The fairer sex rules the world,
men just can't admit it -
Now leave those cows alone,
send your love - unfurled!

I hear that cows rule the world.
I knew it all along.
Inside I always knew that men
coulnd't be that wrong.

flowers that delight

wildflowers singing
to birds winging overhead
pick them for your vase at home
or bring their scent and memory instead

so good!

flowers to reflect
the light the grace
can always show but not replace
the love

Harry brought me flowers,
not for for special days,
just to tell me that he loved me
in his stumbling, gentle way.

stuart little flew a kite
and then the kite began to rise
lifting him into the skies
hitched a ride on a paper plane brought his home in sight

When it comes to bad
they just don't get worse
than duffers like me
who try to write verse.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
And I'm allergic
Achoo! Achoo!

RE: FTD calling

How can I choose among the multitude of flowers
that grace the fields or deck the woodland bowers,
their perfection lies, in part, in immense variety,
tho' simple violets along a shaded path are sweet enough for me.

If I had a former self

I was perhaps a paper airplane
just, unfortunately now, unfolded.

Tulips are brilliant
in colors unending.
And cheaper than orchids,
so that's what I'm sending.

I know someone
who sends tulips abloom

Of course, we think good of you. But we did not know your preference. Just tell us the species and hue... for our future reference.

The tarts of the world of flowers,
brashly loud and tempting.
Steal the stage from all the rest,

So Good!

Send me flowers! Say you think only good of me.
Do not worry if they are red, yellow, or lavender.
Nor do they need to be cut or potted, thorny or trimmed.
Just... send me flowers!
