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? Kim Rodrigues (c) 2016

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 :)
