Chrysanthemum Comments

Very clever write. You managed to crack a smile on my face.

One thing I admire in you Lee is your ability to turn an ordinary subject into a splendid work of art. This one made me smile in remembrance. Perfect 10!

Lee, I wouldn't worry too much about finding a word to rhyme. I find myself in the same predicament all the time. Having said that you didn't need it to rhyme in this lovely poem. Top marks and thanks for sharing it my friend. David

Great Momentum for 'Chrysanthemum'... I am wondering about his words :)

That is so great that your Poem keeps growing in love, you trying to find a matching word for your daughter, her asking you to 'Smell' life, your husband helping you with additional words, and the family growing on and on, here at Poem Hunter too. I loved it, thanks!

this is nice and very cute..i love it.. hugs, Meggie

No need to apologize as I liked this poem as is.

A brilliant exposition of creativity textured through beauty as that of chrysanthemum..........i do appreciate, thanks for sharing

Are we not to complecated at times, your daughters a smart cookie love to you all and your Chrysanthemum another Chris 10 xx

An extraordinary contrast to your poem 'static' just read, this one is all heart, and mother love, and... chrysanthemums? Sorry, your daughter may love the word, but the smell? Yuk! I never know why they are always dished up by the bucketful on Mother's Day. Great poem, by the way. Very sweet. love, Allie xxxx

well of course David would know......

I just loved that kid sooooo much! ! ! Her mind just works in so many ways... very intelligent, very creative... please give her a huge kiss from me? Love ya, Moi

Ah Lee I love this piece, cute and thoughtful! All the best, Diane

Sounds like open-expression comes along with having a daughter named Lauren Marie....mine just turned 14 a few weeks ago...But she's 1/2 way to hollywood already! Very nice work here, young lady...You do Rock! Oh yes, and for what its worth...there is a rhyme, i am convinced for every word in Oxford.... I once brought a a bouquet of chrysanthemums At the entrance to the school's auditorium To present to my daughter, a poetic performer Who recited Longfellow on the podium.....

What an excellent (and rather touching) thought! t x
