He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not...

I really liked this.

Can you do the 'loves me,loves me not' thing with the petals of a buttercup? Are there enough? It's normally with a daisy, isn't it?

It seems there are enough. Five generally. (Another verse? No, it would be a happy ending then:-))

Hi Maria. Another cleverly crafted piece. Loving your work. Congratulations on the cherry.

Lovely maria, great idea and just enough petals ;)
With a name like Duffy there must be some Irish in you, which of course explains the quality of your work ;) Well done on the cherry; well deserved!

Chris ;)

I too wondered about the buttercup, but liked this anyway, so it didn't seem to matter.

I agree with Ewan perhaps one more verse.. but then again perhaps not that would change everything... the alternating love me - love me nots are brilliantly done

THank you so much Ewan. I've just logged in so it's a lovely surprise to see I've been cherry picked. I've only been on this site since last week so I'm not even sure what it means. I guess it's good though! I did take a bit of poetic licence with the buttercup. I think as children, we used to pluck the petals from a daisy and put a buttercup under our necks to see if the light reflected. I much preferred the word 'buttercup'for this poem. Thanks for your comments. Maria

Hi Chris. THanks so much for the lovely comments. Yes, I am Irish (Dublin) and funnily enough, I was going to look you up. Somebody told me to check out your stuff. They said that you were Irish too and your stuff is great. I haven't had much time to read much from the site yet (four young children demanding of my time) but I'll get around to it soon. Where are you from? Maria

Thanks DrazB. I'm glad you liked it, despite me taking a bit of poetic licence with the buttercup. Maria

Thanks so much rustyice. I'll take the comments on board and see if maybe it should be changed. Glad you liked it anyway. Maria

Hi Jupiter. Thanks again for your lovely comments and compliments. I've just seen it's been cherry picked so I'm delighted. Maria

Hi Maria, living in Mayo near Belmullet (wifes'homeplace). Glad to know you and your work.

Chris ;)

new hi! maria duffy enjoyed the poem "He loves me loves me not." Memories when small taking each petal of park or school doing it, I think it was a Daisy but can do with any flower, and the Buttercup yes we always held under the chin, see who liked butter! reflection. well done cherry. Do you remember The Dandelions to? One O'clock, 2 O'clock 3 O'clock 4 memories julie
