Daisy game

He loves me, he loves me not,
i hope this daisy is full.
He loves me, he loves me not,
What last petal will I pull?
He loves me, he loves me not,
I've known it from the start,
He loves me, he loves me not,
He has the power to break my heart.
He loves me, he loves me not,
Whatever will I do?
He loves me, he loves me not,
If what I fear is true.
He loves me ,he loves me not,
This flower is almost done
He loves me, he loves me not,
This game is just not fun.
He loves me, he loves me not,
I think I'm going to cry,
He loves me, he loves me not,
Now I want to die.
He loves me, he loves me not,
This is my darkest hour,
 He loves me, he loves me not,
To hell with this stupid flower.

Beautiful!

So cute! The repetition does work wonders on this one, in my head this poem has a melody, and a great one too. I think I've seen a movie where the flower's last petal is "loves me not" so the girl just continues with a second flower... You might want to end with an "!" instead of a ".". Antoine

Dear Elizabeth

The repetition in this piece is absolutely charming. I love how it goes from hopeful to mournful. The ending line is my favorite! Always, Cat
