Notes About The Poem

This is a telestich - the end letter spells out the message. 

A Virgin Flower

A VIRGIN FLOWER

A virgin bride tosses her bouquet in a sendofF.
Every little girl, shouts with hands, hopefuL,
and the beauty that catches it, is met with a bashful, “hellO” –
from the dashing young boy, and so, she gets a previeW.
He hikes a garter up her leg, a tradition of lovE?
Would she be domesticated, a virgin to conqueR?

I enjoyed reading this one, Kim. Was it meant for the flower contest?

Thank you, Andrea! No, I was taking a class on acrostics and wrote this for one of the lessons :)
