Never buy me roses.

If you want to show you care,
simply touch my shoulder as you pass my chair.

Joanie, cool. So true, succinct. (Don't want to make my comment longer than your piece..)

Lovely Joanie. I wondered about a line break after "shoulder", but it works so well, anyhow.

Makes me ponder about the nature of love and how simple gestures, heartfelt, are always winners over the showy stereotypes...

There you go, my comment IS longer than the poem!

tc, Liesl, poems, thank you all. I confess that I love short 'snap-shots'. I love to learn them to repeat to myself in the heat of the day!

I'm glad this one seemed to work.

'Sweet as', joanie. Tactile affection is cheaper than roses too!
