John Patrick Boutilier and Gina Ancheta Agsaulio bring you another anthology of modern love poetry from poets around the world. This two volume anthology, A BOUQET OF VERSE, is the perfect gift for that special someone in your life on any occasion where you want to demonstrate your love and devotion. A BOUQUET OF VERSE The mind is a garden wherein grows Our wit and wonder, thoughts which impose Some soft as petals of the sweetest rose Others sharp as thorns meant to expose Sometimes we write for we have need Upon the paper with pen we bleed Every drop is fruit grown from the seed Of that from which we can't recede The blood that's bled is but our own Though our crop relies not on pain alone From all emotions the seeds are sown Oft nurtured well until full grown So from our joys and our throes Come the words we're compelled compose From our highest highs and lowest lows Each line a part of soul disclose Be it a blessing or be it curse Tis what we do for better or worse Sometimes verbose and sometimes terse Our gift to you a bouquet of verse © John Patrick Boutilier, 2016, All Rights Reserved.
