undying bouquets
for the Love in 50 words Challenge | it is 50 words, I promise (had to divide the stanzas somehow)

i've never seen flowers die;
every time you get me a bouquet,
you take one out,
turning it into a sign:
when it starts to wilts,
get her another bouquet
but in your mind,
she should never see us die.
***
let the flowers die
because i promise
we never will

Let the flowers die, because we never will. Absolutely beautiful! Nicely Done!!
Very sweet poem… love the imagery of a bouquet of flowers 💐.
Such an interesting dynamic in this! The lengths to go to for love I suppose! Well penned, Alexandria!
beautiful poetry, love the romanticism of this piece
⚡💙⚡ (I had the same issue with stanzas. I also sign my poems at the bottom "by Bolt" so I'm always at least two words over the limit. Don't know if I should delete my signature or not. I may. Great poem!! I *like* the division of stanzas.
