Notes About The Poem

3/2/2025 for Write Two Beautiful Lines of Poetry Contest sponsored by Constance La France

Insanity's Bouquet

“I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be” ~ Pip in Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

I'm all in pieces, in sad disarray, 
holding your gift, insanity's bouquet.

Daniel Henry Rodgers March 3, 2025 at 9:43 AM Hello David, How hauntingly raw and beautifully evocative. The imagery of being "all in pieces" and holding "insanity's bouquet" speaks volumes about inner turmoil and fragility. Your words always leave me thinking deeply.

In reading your poems, I think you are always thinking deeply!
