Harsh words were spoken
A vase was then broken
Their only shared token
Of love
She'd waited for hours
For him to bring flowers
But instead he'd brought
Gardening gloves
This is not what she needs
Yet a packet of seeds
Is her gift
He'd practically bought
Without loving thought
And that was the
Start of their rift
Excellent suggestion Ruth. Next time.
August 30th, moon Capricorn, rising Aquarius
Don, I should have known something less practical would hit the right spot. That was more than 20 years ago in London.
These days I hand out quality, dark chocolate bars. It serves the receiver quite well, most times.
I'm an Aquarian. Quiet and laid-back. Is that why Thalia and I work well? ?
Don, I am still waiting for you to tell me when your birthday is!
Fred, Ruth is a specialist
On reading of our stars
Remiss of me to not have told you
Of her repertoire
She knows all about Virgos.,..?
Ah Fred Happy Belated Birthday, it wasn't too many weeks ago, when was it? Apron and cookbook is not that bad seeing as she was a chef, but if you had got one other Non essential/practical that would have been perfect ( big virgo trait). Thanks for reading
Fred you should've known that chefs
Got cupboards full of cheffy gifts
Perhaps voucher for surplus-rid
Might just have stopped your Virgo rift?
You didn't know of such vouchers? Google for nearest 'Rid your Rubbish' company.....?
Ruth, this one gave me a smiley remembrance. It was my friend's birthday. She was a chef and I am a Virgo. I got her a cookbook and an apron, and that was the start of our rift. ?
Engraved gardening gloves Nigel, now that is definitely an original idea!
Oh Nigel this was sweet of you
You will have won her heart
She wears them both to bed each night
Not from her bod they part
She will cherish them and you forever....?
Flowers will not last
but on each glove
I scratched a message
to remind you of - - -
holding hands in the potting shed.
Really Hugh? You've seen daffodils today? That's another sign of climate change!
Flowers are like friends,they bring colour to our world,
While out walking this morning ,two daffs on the horizon unfurled.
Thanks Hugh. Thanks Brian hmm maybe it's how I've written the words, I'm going to read it again now?

Love it Ruth but the rhythm changes towards the end which for me doesn't work.
The end of a budding relationship.
"She'd waited for hours for him to bring flowers."Great line .
