don't pick flowers
they are all women
unless you're picking women
for a woman

just be careful
some women don't like women
some only like
a certain type of woman

some women are  allergic to women
some would rather have
just one woman
not a dozen

some women will tear off Rose's head
tuck it behind one ear
and make you chew on
the thorny stem

some women will take one sniff
and throw their women away
some will keep their women hydrated
in a vase for days

some women will leave their women to decay
on a windowsill
some will never
get their fill of women

there are many kinds of flowers
as well as many kinds of women
I can tell Forsythia from Winter Jasmine
I can tell you from her

but I cannot tell a woman
from a flower
women and flowers

This is beautiful. Love the way you tied women and flowers together. The idea of comparing a flower to a woman could have ended up as a cliche idea, but you pulled it off beautifully. Love every work you do!
