Darlene Gifford Poet Rhyme

The Florist and the Poet

A florist
working in her shop,
snips and clips and cuts away,
making a fragrant floral bouquet.

A poet
writing at her desk,
picks and prunes her words with care,
making paper bouquets with others to share.

James Marshall Goff November 4, 2014 at 11:31 AM sweet! Darlene Gifford November 4, 2014 at 11:49 AM Thank you for reading my poems, James. I entered this in a contest over a month ago, but heard nothing, so I guess I didn't even get a mention. I'm glad there are some people like you who enjoyed the connection I made between the florist and the poet.

Kika Ayala September 3, 2014 at 8:44 PM Congratulations on your win! Excellent piece! Kika Darlene Gifford September 4, 2014 at 1:16 AM Are you talking to me, Kiki or Barbara? Because I didn't win anything that I'm aware of. I did enter this poem in a contest but I don't think the contest is even over until the end of this month. But I could be wrong. :)

Barbara Gorelick September 1, 2014 at 12:34 PM This is so sweet. A great comparison. BG Darlene Gifford September 1, 2014 at 12:51 PM Thanks for taking the time to comment, Barbara, and liking the comparison. :)
