Oh yes I like…in fact, I love it. The contradiction of the “sad man” and the happy flowers is very poignant. It seems to add such a touching element to the gift of the flowers, and the sentiment behind the gift, making them all the more profound. What a beautiful way to say “I love you”, to plant someone a flower garden. Lovely poem. Thank you.
An interesting poetic concept; “he” plants a garden that will grow through the years, rather than bringing a bouquet which will die in days. I like the personification of the flowers.
My thoughts are exactly as Elaine’s thoughts, the nurturing,
…but I did not like him sad, I would have liked him “melancholy” which would be a feeling of thoughtful sadness, but I realize that is 3 extra syllables, is that too many? (smile)
Nice, Kudos

The poem is lovely, and a twist at the end! Not just a bouquet, but a garden. I hope he will not be sad too much longer.
Awww! VERY Sweet! I hope she accepts his proposal.

Beautiful !
As usual, I was not disappointed in what you put to paper. Well done.
No one knows what it’s like
to be the bad man
to be the sad man
behind blue eyes…
but my dreams aren’t as empty
and nor yours, it seems
Thanks
