It's No Poppy Field

Love is not for the weak-hearted who fall at the slightest gust of charm no, it is not a fairy-tale containing nothing but words of white horses and happy endings Sometimes, love wears thorns and cleverly hides itself behind the gesture of a rose or worse yet a man with no flowers at all

Congrats on your poem being featured this week. It is a superb write. I like the line, "Sometimes, love wears thorn". How true! Sometimes, love also drinks hemlock. Keep writing. Mohammad

Well, that is very well said, and sadly true. No flowers at all, is inexcusable. Excellent write. Love, Shar
