Dear Karen,
Your title matches mine of some time ago, I thought you might like to see what I came up with ! Not in the grace and beauty and poetic skill departments, but in the sardonic, perhaps ? THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS I had these killed, to show how much I love you .... Alan McAlpine Douglas ·······  ······· |

Hi Alan - should this be a "reply" to Karen's poem?

Dear Lori,
Well, yes, but I understood that we do not post poems in response to other poems, remember Daniel was prone to that ? Love Alan ······· ······· |

Hi Alan - we've lightened up on that aspect - as long as the person as offered feedback FIRST
 and the owner of the topic doesn't mind it - you are free to post a poetic response (but just don't get carried away),  !~L

QUOTE (Alan @ May 19 10, 06:32 )  THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS I had these killed, to show how much I love you .... Well this little verse says so much! Very cleverly worded, Alan. As usual, you have a great way with words! Made me smile! Snow

Dear Karen,
Aha, you know my little secret ! I don't send them, I suspect because too many of the meanings I DON'T mean would come through. Love Alan ······· ······· |
