Plantation of Roses

Rose on a plant or many roses on plants
spread but little fragrance
see you gave roses to mummy
she smelled them
and shared with all she knew
some passers by
got the flavour free
that was the kindness of your mummy

and Ah! gfs so many,
give them a rose
and
like bees they shall come running.

Chocolates too they'd love off you
when in secret darkness
they could only smell roses
in their hair
for which you spent searching
in many a lovers lovely locality

come next time
ask me roses
I will send so many
pay me for the roses only,
delivery is free
But tell your mom and gals
roses came from where,
no, not the Garden of Eden
all know that
tell them a friend
sent the roses for them
to spread a night of love and fragrance
also to lock up in their memory
for times to come.

Having said so much,
Let me tease some one
and convert this dialogue into a poem
of everlasting rosy fragrance
for times yet to come for remembrance

What are 'gfs'? This has some raw material that can be worked into a piece of poetry, but you'd need to get out your chisel and hammer first. Maybe I just have no idea what you're trying to say here.. I apologise.

Ah, ok. Thank you for clearing that up, Lovedly. May I suggest that perhaps you use the word, and not the text-speak abbreviation of it. It shows the poem, and the forum you posted it in, much more respect and gives your poem more grown-up gravity than it would have had it been filled with 'gfs', 'lol' et alia.

While I am all for challenging dogmatic structures of written language, it helps if the poem has 'some' kind of form, it shows you've written the poem thoughtfully. Bucking traditional form but having your own form says: "You might not know what I am saying, but I know what I am saying", a poem without those considerations kind of reads like: "You might not know what I am saying, and neither do I".

I really like the "secret darkness" you wrote of, and I get hints of a mood which you're trying to convey, which is lovely and I suppose quite playful. I just think this poem deserves to be thought-out a little more, to give it the grandeur it deserves.

Can I thank you, for your kindness and devotion
May I request a suitable edit
twill be of immense consideration
for me
thank you
Summerly

but like my evil grandpa on dads side said
Shit grows daisies...
(he was a touchy kind of guy...glad hes gone)
would have enjoyed planting

..
in the meantime...I myself use abreviations
majority of people use cell phones or texting
and its a draw for those that do not use these
things to figure out the lingo....But I didnt know
and wanted to be in the modern era
the reverse is like reading shakespeare or Milton
or other high brow..that long gone lingo is hard
to get into the track....but with effort like learning
basic words for world travelling its just work....

true the drawn out effort is more rewarding a read
and ms Sommer whom I find is a breath of fresh
air sees great play and value in this...
Bravo to both!

if I inspired then I am glad
the creative sparks ignite but more
poetry then conflagaration
of misery...

Thank U!

an inspiration for me
I was about to remove most of my unread poetry
but seeing some like you
Cats' and new comers
encouraging me

I shall let em be
thank you Esker
you make a poet out of me
