Anyone up for a little challenge?

I worked very hard on this one, and I thought it would be fun to challenge my Y!Harem and anyone else. I've written this poem according to the language of flowers. The words give several clues to the meening of the flowers, but I challenge you to find out what I'm saying.



He bathes me in fragrant blooms,

their message fills my heart.

Apple blossoms and Forget-me-nots

tell me we never have to part.



The yellow Chrysanthemum

speaks secrets in my ear.

And the smiling Sunflower,

tells me that I am dear.



Sweetpea hides the Tuberose.

Gardenias tell how he feels,

Bachelor Buttons and red rose.

Hyacinths say this is real.



Iris looks to Orchid’s face,

While Ivy holds them all in place.
Anyone up for a little challenge?
I'm so glad I added you to my contacts. If I died right now from the shear pleasure of reading this, it would take the undertaker a week to remove this stupid smile from my face.
Reply:I promise to remember you forever.

I have always been your secret admirer.

I am the love of your life.

I adore you.

I am so shy. I can't express the pleasure you bring me.

The Joy, anticipation, the passionate love overwhelms me when I look upon your face!

I will never give up.

You are my inspiration when I look upon your delicate beauty.

There can never be another to take your place!



I THINK IT IS GREAT!
Reply:alright so some dude promises you that he'll never forget you and that you'll always be together.

he tells you he loves you

he's too shy to show it, but he's the happiest dude in the land.

he cant wait to **** you, but you're not just some other girl. he means everything he feels.

he's inspired by your beauty

and he'll always be faithful.



BAM!
Reply:correct me if i'm wrong, but i think your man is pretty lucky. and obviously, u know that. do u treat him the same???
Reply:This was very fun. Thank you for the link. I will never use flowers in a poem the same way again.



I won't place all the definitions in and ruin the fun for others but:



You are talking about a secret admirerer who has made endearing promises to you (the narrator). This has the sense of a potential long term love. There is hesitation (shyness in stanza 3) but also an excitement and joy culminating in passionate love. There is mutual adoration as well as the promise of faithfulness that the love will last.
Reply:Love.

How the person that you love can be your inspiration.
Reply:OH MY GOD THAT TOTALLY ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:It seems to be about steadfastness between two lovers, despite the temptations of would-be suitors. I am assuming that, as is generally true in a traditional Shakespearean sonnet (and I think I can forgive not being able to pull off a rhyme, within the theme, for "Chrysanthemum"), the last couplet is the key to resolving the poem.



As an aside, you are remarkably creative. I've come to enjoy your posts.
Reply:You are much too clever! You nasty little piece of work you! That is just brilliant, kind of a Where's Waldo of poetry, a flowers: English dictionary. Cool!



Admiring your superior talent, I genuflect, unworthily, D.
Reply:In this work, I believe Cinimini is saying, "Her gardener has a cute butt."



Last year, I tried Amaranthus "Love lies bleeding." Beautiful!



It sounds like the things in your garden would work in mine. I have been accepted by the University of Missouri's Master Gardeners program. I just need a couple months off to take the final class.
Reply:your having a problem with your boyfriend?
Reply:I liked it very much, it was fresh. I like flowers, but i don't know a lot about them.
