Poetry and Flowers
It’s springtime across the northern hemisphere, maybe sooner for some than others, but there’s a great stirring in nature that tells us better days are here.
Alfred Lord Tennyson once said in his poem ‘Locksley Hall’
In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish’d dove
In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.
Then her cheek was pale and thinner than should be for one so young,
And her eyes on all my motions with a mute observance hung.
And I said, “My cousin Amy, speak, and speak the truth to me
Trust me, cousin, all the current of my being sets to thee.”
Now I think that flowers and poetry go together like bread and butter. At this time of year you may be thinking of how good it would be to spend the summer, and hopefully the rest of your life, with someone you love While a beautiful bouquet of flowers will wow your heart’s desire, the clincher will be the poem that accompanies it. It doesn’t matter if you’re not poetically minded, it’s OK to pinch someone else’s idea – it’s the thought that counts! How could a heart not melt reading Juliet’s speech to Romeo…
‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
Poetry speaks of thoughtfulness, sensitivity and romance – it’s no wonder that a recent survey of women who received poems from admirers showed they were 42% more likely to agree to a date than those who didn’t! So if you’re plucking up the courage to ask that special person for a date, order a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Cosmea Gardens to be delivered to her (it has more effect if it’s delivered and in the remote chance the idea fails, you won’t be there to suffer the embarrassment!!) and before placing your order, sit down with some romantic music playing in the background and pen some special words that will melt her heart!
