I always thought that sunflowers
Were too common to be loved,
Until you gave me one.
And then like a sunflower,
I turned towards the sun,
You..

this is a really sweet poem..and i can tell you put a lot of emotion and thought into your words. it is short and to the point which i like, no use drawing things out. perhaps though it lacked the depth i was looking for..i can tell this love means a lot to you, and it doesnt lessen the value of your words at all...but it just wasnt exactly what i was looking for in this contest

Beautiful!
Oh I like this poem and not just because I love sunflowers or have always wanted to write about them too (and still haven't, lol), but because of the wonderful economy of words without taking anything away from the poetic beauty and the impact of this poem. To me economy of words is one of the skills a poet needs to develop, to say so much without abusing words and space. I also loved this poem, because it "shows" and not tells - another sign of your poetic skills and abilities. Wonderful work - the best I've read so far today here on AP. I just loved this!!

This is such a sweet and beautiful thought and feeling...it's wonderful how someone special can make you look at common, ordinary objects in a new and brighter light...this is excellent..

Nice, I like the way that you show that ordinary things can take on whole new meanings when they remind you of the one you love.

Excellent
Thanks for the lovely comment. I loved your poem about the sunflower. You said so much with just a few words. That is an amazing display of talent, too.

This was sweet 9i think that word really does describe it best... I like the sentiment that even a common thing can take on special meaning when it's given by a loved one. I also like the slightly wistful tone of the poem, like the gentle words of someone trying to cheer up their closest friend. Lovely!

sweet
i like this a lot. lines 1&2 stood out to me a bit because they seem to represent some emotion that there isnt really a name for, but we all feel at times. very nice work. -
