Poetry
For My Weasel
By Talisker
11 February 2007
Soon the blushing cherry tree
will cast her blossom to the wind,
and the chaste apple will spread
her vestal petals, white as milk.

Yet, for now, the only blush
is on your fair cheek, my valentine,
the only virtue, is your innocence,
the only warmth, is your love.

Let all of nature do her best,
astound my eyes with orchid’s bloom,
delight my ears with skylark song,
assuage my heart with puppy hugs.

But none of these, none of these, my darling,
will ever come close to the joy I find in you.

that love is a thing of the past - or that it is only the French or Italians that excel! Never! Can anyone beat this for romance? (My husband has just spent our 39th wedding anniversary in bed with --------- a cold!)

Talisker,

A very beautiful poem. 
Josie is right, forget the french etc.

I reckon the Italians to a pretty good job =P 
 
pretty, Oli, very pretty. Even without the rhyme you do yourself proud. Can't help feeling the rhythm is a little awkward...but I'm no one to talk in that respect. 
 
well done =) 
xx 
 
PS puppy hugs? really...
