Flower Lovers

Concerning only staying powers
Hand With Bouquet
by Pablo Picasso
(1881-1973)
discerning gifters choose silk flowers
but if "genu-wine" is how they hope you feel
about them, fine, they'll bring bouquets of real,
fully knowing that the petals will soon fall, will die
but till that happens, fragrantly they'll cry
of so much love. They almost always overlook
the best solution to be found in wooing books
and that is simply this: for flower lovers everywhere,
new, fresh assortments, given often, show most care.
