Daisies

Daisies Poetry

They say to bloom

where you are planted

but what if you are like

your best friend who

said no

and bloomed in a field

alone for the world to

see while you were

planted in a garden and

were lost among the

daisies?

    Daisies are the flowers I prefer. They are so simple but they make me smile everytime.
    The reflection you write is so deep!

    Beautiful philosophical verses! 🌻 The ending question is significant for us all to ponder and reflect. I guess I’d be a happy daisy among all others if end up in a garden 😂
