November 10 is For-Get-Me-Not Day1

The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  prompt for DAY 1334
confine-- request-- choke-- enthusiasm-- dependence-- reward
Let's have some fun with these random words.

For-Get-Me-Not

"Do not forget us when we are gone,"
is the request of the Forget-Me-Not
that blooms so bright in the light of spring.

Their lovely leaves dance in the morning breeze,
happy their stems are no longer confined
beneath winter's freezing snow.

"Do not choke our beauty
by planting us where no one can see
the enthusiasm
of our blue, pink, violet, or white blossoms."

"Each year we place our dependence
upon generous gardeners to plant
us where the world can receive
the reward of seeing our dainty flowers."
