Or had he stolen something more?

I like it. )

I like this poem...

I really love this. It's so simple, yet it has so much to say. You used magnolias instead of roses. He gives a bouquet to you but you can't accept it because he took from someone else. Great job on this one...

I have a severe weakness for specific flowers names in poetry, like peonies or magnolias, especially in short poems, where every word matters.

Magnolias. I'm still lingering on that word. Next time I see magnolias, I'll think of this. I think I have severe weakness for specifics. That's probably why I can never comment on a poem as a whole...

I like this, the brevity, the silence bloated with words.

This is beautiful (and oh-so-true). -faves-

And thank you so much for the review!

I like the simplicity of such a statement. It reminded me of the gypsy custom I heard about once: that they don't pick flowers because they'll die if you pick them. It's much better to be able to see them in nature - alive and healthy and growing. :) I loved them.

Hoenstly, at first I thought this would be a poem about him "stealing your heart." I thought, "Ugh, not another cliche heartbreak poem." Not that those can't be very well-written! I was just... in the mood for a change. So I was relieved to read this instead. :D

I love this. It's so simple, yet it says so much. I like how you used magnolias rather than something as cliche as roses, and then the whole idea behind it is you can't accept them because he was taking them from someone else. Really interesting. Nice work. Keep writing! :)

Oh! Nice concept, I love it. This was really well written, excellent work!
