    That is your style, YOUR words, YOUR emotions, YOUR passion, YOUR simplicity, YOUR fragrance, that is YOUR talent! I loved this poem like never before. The title fits soooooooooooooooooo much. ;)

    I must leave a comment worthy of my words,
    so...

    Others get a bouquet or pralines.
    Flowers that wither, but that
    couldn't bloom more beautiful
    during their existence. Pralines,
    that don't only look good, but
    taste as much.

    ^Yes, it seems that flowers and chocolates are a common gift, but do not stay with us for very long, flowers die and chocolates get eaten :p

    But no, you didn't give me a rose.
    What I got is one of these round,
    gilded mirrors, opened by pressing
    a with diamonds embellished nub;
    revealing a mirror on one side and
    a picture [of us] on the other.

    ^This stanza seemed as though you felt that you would have liked flowers or chocolates, there was sort of a sense of dissapointment

    Though that's not everything:
    on the back you engraved
    our names and a vow of love.
    But why?

    ^Here you are questioning why this momentum, why something special liked this and not just flowers or chocs

    I don't accomplish to confess
    to our love to such an extent,
    to demonstrate it like that.
    Just realized how much I mean
    to you..

    ^You are grateful but letting him know that this shows how much you mean to him, as though you never really knew,

    All I want is for you to know,
    that nobody completes me,
    moves me, like you do,
    But a rose would of been enough.

    ^Here this carries on the precious stanza saying that flowers would have been enough to show he cares and that you don't want him spending money or buying presents because a rose, like his love is enough for you

    I liked your way of wording this, the flow was really smooth throughout, I feel that the simplicity amongst the wording was really good and a lovely penned poem

    Love

    Tare explained everything so well, theres nothing left to say. None the less this poem is very well written, the flow is very fluid. And the theme shows how the simplest of gift would have sufficed. Splendid job.

    Awwww how sweet! I loved reading this poem... it made me think of Valentine's Day or an anniversary - very sweet and romantic. I love how you described the special gift, and then the final line was "a rose would have been enough"

    Btw I think you meant 'have' instead of 'of' ?

    Loved it!!

    I think the gift was more unique than roses or pralines. A symbol of love to stay eternal. Flowers wilt and chocolates melt, but a gift such as an engraved mirror box, will stay for ever....or at least until one decides otherwise.

    So the symbolism of this gift is much deeper. A wish for a love never to die.

    Very well penned Jenny.

    Oh Jenni...

    The last line just moved me, and it surprised me.

    It was amazing starting with OTHERS .. It felt eerily perfect.

    But, one note: there is an 'a' alone, shouldn't there be any noun modifying it? just my thought..

    For the rest of the imagery, they penned awesomeness!

    A groovy write.

    A rose would have been enough for me too, Jenn. (: You're also on my favorites now.

    I think you really captured how the little things mean the most to us; it doesn't have to be expensive or the world's biggest gift... It just has to be something small that is an expression of the love the other person feels for us.

    This poem is proof at what the little things mean to some of us. (:

    5/5
