Mere man remembering flowers
Forget me not (image on Wikipedia)
Being a man I have always had
trouble remembering the names of flowers.
I think Antirrhinum is the one that is a dragon who opens him mouth when you squeeze his nose.
And isn’t Primrose the one that
is low to the ground but doesn’t prickle like a rose?
Nasturtium it is that grows everywhere like a weed but can be used in a salad for a feed?
I know that Salvia is the one that
up grows up straight and tall and brings the bees to the garden for all.
One unnamed plant cried out to
God one day, “Forget me not, O Lord” and that is its name we will forever say.
Lovely poem that made me smile, Robin! I am so bad with the names of things, and people, and songs, and such... but I know who and what I love, and I love flowers of all kinds. Your ending was perfect, well done!
ReplyDeleteGod makes such a vast array of beautiful flowers.Even the weeds can be beautiful. He sees them all the same, I believe.
ReplyDeleteLast two lines made me smile. Love your words.
ReplyDeleteI too forget the names of the flowers but i don't care for it since i enjoy the beauty of it.
Being a mere man I always have trouble remembering the names of flowers because everyone know that women can remember things like this
ReplyDeleteIt is natural to her.
Also a mere man cannot
remember to clean the bathroom
water the pop plants
make a shopping list
remember where anything is in the house\
and has to ask all the time
because a mere man likes
to have everything his own way
and likes to leave all
the menial tasks to the women
