he was smitten
a spark renewed
like a strike of a match
the solitary man began to smile
she enjoyed the attention
from her new pedestal
dazzling from on high
basking in his devotion
he found himself happy for once
frolicking in flower fields
the daisies waved their petals
the bees buzzed about him like honey
out of nowhere
she hurled a boulder down
crushing him to the ground
he desperately searched for reasons
stunned shocked and wounded
the daisies and the bees knew why
they had seen it happen before
but do you?
same reason you never put anyone on a pedestal...it goes to their head and corrupts any beauty they once had...
ReplyDeleteHa..I think only a female will get the answer to this one!
Delete..ah, too many facets to consider here... i wondered at the silence of the daisies & bees t'wards the end... maybe, the woman is enjoying attention not from the man but from the flower fields she considered as her new pedestal & that she hates to see an intruder frolicking her garden...ha... or
ReplyDelete..maybe, the man is too frail of temptations to be flurting with the other beauties around & that he played unworthy for such a woman selfishly inlove.... or,
...maybe, the man is gay & the woman hates it when it gets revealed surprisingly to her... lol...
...ok... i am not too good at riddles... i just like to give an attempt... smiles...
Kelvin you really do have a fabulous imagination...LOL...Thanks I really needed this tonight... The answer is lurking in there somewhere
Delete...too close... just too close... lol... only if i had added more of my 'maybes' i would have got it right... grrr to the swedish guy... lol... but bjorn is not a female so you're def wrong to think only a female can get this on... hihi... smiles...
DeleteWhat I meant to say was that only a woman or a Swedish guy will get this!
DeleteHey! Look! A boulder!
ReplyDeleteWhere the f*ck did that come from?
Ow!
LOL...One can survive and live to tell the boulder tale...I'm speaking from my own personal experience .
DeleteOoch that hurts.. yes why indeed. Envy of his joy.. concern that his joy was for another reason than her. -- interesting riddle, but a boulder in the head you only get once.
ReplyDeleteBingo...Swedish guys are just too smart:)
ReplyDeletethe 'solitary man' somehow gave me an image of a scarecrow, smiling. great riddle, perhaps this is one jealous woman who doesn't like him to frolick amongst daisies and bees... ;)
ReplyDelete~Miriam
Yes, insecure women are jealous of shadows daisies and bees or anything really that they cannot control.
DeleteHmmm, really not sure of the answer. It seems a strong reaction to someone who was an admirer, I will check back later for the answer.
ReplyDeleteNot if the person is a psychopath:)
DeleteSuch rapture or high emotions don't last forever, they are fleeting as daisies ~ Better to give him the real dose of reality now, than later ~
ReplyDeleteYou don't mean that Grace:)
DeleteFrolicking with gay abandon tends to lead to an unhappy ending!
ReplyDeleteFiddley Dee!
DeleteIf you put someone on a pedestal, you are probably not seeing the real them!
ReplyDeleteQuite!
DeletePlus - "frolicking in flower fields" seems decidedly ungentlemanly if he has a garden at home to tend.
ReplyDeleteMaybe in the time of the dinosaur.
ReplyDeleteThe Dodo is not a dinosaur! He is alive and well and has relatives living in a town near you.
DeleteOh I wish ! You are spending too much time with tortoises of late. Time to spread your wings a little and Dodo On Down Under:)
