No Flowers for Christina Portbell
That is what they say.

But her hair was like not-so-Spanish Moss,
And her eyes were like Forget-Me-Nots.
But now she is all Red Roses,
The sort she didn’t have
On Valentine’s Day - the day we saw her last.

She was openly an Orchid,
But wistfully Wisteria
And soft and gentle like a Water Lily,
Strong like some Willow Tree.
She knew all about the theory
Yet she never had the practice,
Of crying or kissing or hugging someone beautiful,
Or as beautiful as she.

But the Daisy Meadows have her now,
In a sea of white-ish, pink-ish, green.
No Flowers for Christina Portbell,
That is what they say.

I never knew anyone so beautiful,
Or as beautiful to me.
But I’ve seen flowers that compare,
And she’s joined their ranks and rows.
No Flowers for Christina Portbell,

The most beautiful flower the world had ever known.

Webmentions

A webmention is a way for anyone to interact with my content on any platform they like. Most of mine are on Twitter, but if you prefer to "like", "repost", or "mention" my post on any platform like Tumblr, or Reddit, that works too! Here's what you have to do: you can post a link to this post on your social media of choice, or even your own site, and I'll receive a notification. In a few hours, your post should show up below as a mention. Alternatively, if I post a link to this post on Twitter (as an example) and you like, repost, or reply to that tweet, those interactions will show up here as well! Here's the official Webmention description:

Webmention is a web standard for mentions and conversations across the web, a powerful building block that is used for a growing federated network of comments, likes, reposts, and other rich interactions across the decentralized social web.
