Notes About The Poem

Bizarre Gifts: Bouquet

- She Knew -

it's the thought that counts

                                       she knew he was born stingy -

                                             flowers from dumpster

Congratulations on the win. A meaningful write and in some cases true. I had rather have a gift from the heart than something expensive. Stingy is a different story. Have a blessed day..............
