Notes About The Poem

forget-me-nots

Forget Me Nots

Such sweet little wildflowers
Shades varied in tones of blue
Growing along stream's bower
Softly kissed by morning dew.

Near such stream, a besotted knight
Walked with his lovely fair maiden
In suit of armor, he met his plight
In his hand, forget-me-nots laden.

Legend has it he fell in the river
Still holding on to his fragile gift
Tossed, the flowers he was to give her
A clenched hand was all he could lift.

As a symbol of faithful love so true
Forget-me-nots grow in early Spring
I will offer some I'll pick for you
When on my knee, I offer you a ring.

Thank you, Sandra. I was caught up in the image of a Knight in full suit of armor, holding a handful of fragile flowers. What a sad ending that he could only toss them to his maiden as he drowned.

I do agree with you, Tim. A field of wildflowers is more beautiful than anything planted by the hands of man. Thanks for reading.
