About This Poem

Rainy Day

He brought some flowers home today. 
An inexpensive little bunch
He’d picked up at the grocery store 
He said he wished he could do more 
Like dozens of roses in full bloom 
To fill my room with a nice bouquet  

But oh, those flowers he brought to me
Were priceless in their simplicity
What a sweet surprise, for no good reason
It wasn’t my birthday or Valentine’s Day  
He only brought them just show
He was thinking of me in some way 

See, I don’t need expensive gifts
Or to go on special fancy dates 
A simple walk in the park would do
No fancy dinners at fancy places
A picnic in the evening light 
Would satisfy my appetite

Romance doesn’t have to take a lot 
It can be as simple as a conversation 
Showing an interest in what I believe 
Or letting me know he’s thinking of me
In simple yet creative ways 
Like bringing home flowers on a rainy day

    Lucky lady. this is something I don't see in my life. hahaha. Unless my daughter does it for me with some kind of food or something! I hope I am caught up on your poems now. You got a few posted up that I had not caught right away. Sure like your way of doing a rainy day poem, by using flowers. On your recipe, it was nice. See my blog replies to people!!

    That is what perfectly romantic is--the simple bouquet picked from a field on the way home or the grocery store--and what is, after all, expensive, but all of our expectations and unfulfilled expectations are put in their right place. I have been in some awesome restaurants--excuse me, we--but, back when, with mixed wine glasses and a box for a table, and a quart of beer, that was our champagne--we dined like royalty!!( Didn't see mail)

    yes exactly Craig, two hearts can be together in any situation and any place, and it can be sweet! Thanks for your comment.

    Funny, my wife says exactly the same thing to me all the time. It is the constant little things, after all. This is very good. It could be used to teach a lot about life in some context--like a classroom. The poem itself is simple and unpretentious. It's direct and fresh. Need I say more? Thank-you!

    I like to be wined and dined myself. Expensive gifts and trip are the icing on the cake! Sorry I couldn't resist *lol* I also appreciate the simple gestures. I enjoyed your poem Becca.

    well... to be honest... I'd kind of love to be wined and dined too.. but hey, simple is better than nothing, right? :P hehe Thanks for your comments Rick :)

    Becca I must agree with you. I'm a simple date, nothing fancy. A beautiful romantic poem you wrote. Good luck in the contest. Warm Smiles, Connie

    This is so beautiful, Becca. I'm with you on this, as I am the same. A ride at night to see the beautiful sparkling lights of the city does it for me. :) Loved reading your thoughts on this.
